A Wicked Weekend

We had a fabulous time at Wicked this past weekend. It was actually our second time seeing the show (it was my birthday present last summer), but what a contrast from the last time. Closer seats = hearing more of the funny parts and actually being able to see the orchestra pit! Popular and Defying Gravity still rank as our favorite parts of the show, but the whole thing is amazing and you have to see it if you have the opportunity!


A view of Emerald City

Monday morning we had to narrow down our "tourist" options. We had a lot of places we wanted to visit, but only one day! The weather was a gorgeous 65 degrees (looking back the zoo might have been the best option to enjoy the unseasonable temperatures). We decided on the Natural History Museum first. You might say it's because we thirst for knowledge. Or you might say, we're dorks (but I'm sure Clancy's thinking to himself right now while reading this for me to speak for myself). We saw precious rocks, a "chunk" of the moon and many "wild" animals in their outside nature exhibit. We're talking deer and raccoons here people. You don't see these things every day! ;)


Dinosaur Bones!

We probably had the most fun outside taking pictures. Humping dinosaur tails and touching butts. Who knew you could have so much fun learning about history?

He just missed my humping action


Not so scary stuffed


Big surprise, he wanted his picture taken with the sculpture of the woman's ass

Our next stop was the Rock & Roll Hall of fame. Couldn't take any pictures of the exhibits unfortunately because there were security-nazis every 5 feet. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. No, I don't think I'm going to steal Jim Morrison's third grade report card, but thanks for looking over my shoulder and making sure I don't. I did get my fill of Beatles memories as there was an entire floor dedicated to the making of their movie "Help!".

Clancy showed me "the wall" from one of Pink Floyd's concerts that he's always talking about. I couldn't believe how huge it was. We also saw Janis Joplins' car which was as hippie as you would imagine. Overall, it was pretty interesting, but with 6 levels and cute (not practical) shoes on - my feet were killing me and I was ready to head back to C-bus!


Gorgeous building, no?

I always seem to forget about the camera in my purse when I venture places, but at least we got a few of the highlights! We didn't manage to get any pics from the night of the show, but I couldn't resist posting the picture of the new dress I picked out just for this occasion. Paired with my knee high black boots and tights, I have to admit I looked kinda smokin'. Clancy, will you verify? ;)


The Guess Dress, puffy sleeves and all

Next - hopefully Lion King this summer. Or maybe Wicked for a third time! Either way, I'm glad I have someone who enjoys this stuff as much as me.
