Wicked San Francisco

For Michelle’s 30th birthday we decided to go down to San Francisco and see Wicked. We had tried to get tickets in Utah, but when we realized it was still playing in California and you could get cheaper tickets we decided to make it a vacation and birthday celebration. We left on a Wednesday after Michelle got off of work, traveled half way, and then arrived Thursday early afternoon. We enjoyed a Vietnamese dinner and walk through the streets of San Francisco before going to WICKED. We were both excited. Michelle had seen it in New York and I, being a music lover, had heard the music over and over again. It was great to finally see the whole story in all of its glory. It was well worth the trip. The next few days were spent riding the trolley cars, shopping, Chinatown, Fisherman’s Warf, Ghirardelli Square, good food, and the list could go on. We enjoyed a visit from Michelle’s sister and brother-in-law along with his parents for a quick 24 hour visit along with being able to ride the trolley car down to church. We finished the trip with a visit to an old roommate’s house, Tim Fife and his wife Cami. After some homemade pizza, some Wii, talking, and then sleep, we were back on the road to return to real life.
