Just got back from Austin last night. Stephanie, Katy, and I went to see "Wicked" The Musical at Bass Hall in Austin. We had so much fun. We started our journey stopping first at DQ, to have a blizzard. Anyone living in Fort Worth (Northside) knows we have to go the distance for our blizzards. During our 3 hour drive we listened to the sound track of Wicked, Momma Mia, and The Sound of Music, so lucky to have daughters (and sons) who enjoy watching and singing along with musical soundtracks. We drove to The Marriott Courtyard where we checked in to the most beautiful room on the 4th floor. Another, blessing was the discounted price for the room thanks to my mom who works for the Marriott corporation. We stayed up past midnight laughing, taking pictures of the cute elephant (made out of towels), and of eachother. The morning came listening to the alarm clock going off next room....we think it was a vacant room. Got up took showers and went to eat a delicious breakfast downstairs. The show we had tickets for was for the matinee at 2pm, so we checked out of the hotel and found a Dillards....lol Those of you that know me know I like a good sale...this Dillard's just happened to be moving or closing...not sure, but we girls bought new dresses for the special mother daughter event at the sale price of 70% off. We laughed and giggled all the way to the car after dressing in our new clothes in Dillard's bathroom. The sales associate even helped with scissors to cut off our tags...lol We arrived at Bass Hall in Austin right on schedule...parked and walked in. We were so excited for the show to begin...took pictures in the lobby because cameras weren't allowed to be used in the auditorium itself. We loved the musical it was amazing....Stopped at On The Border for dinner and again at DQ for one last Blizzard. Arrived home after 9pm. What a wonderful opportunity to share my love for musicals with my girls. This trip was short but wonderful from all the pictures, to the shared memories and new memories, food, shopping trip, and last but not least Stephanie and I changing clothes off the side of the road.....a trip to never be forgotten....
For the boys at home and Robbie and Jamie.....let's do it again with all of us.....musical or trip...or just being together.
