a WICKED trip

This happen in the first weekend in June, but I never got around to blogging about it. But I had to share with you this fun trip that I took with some friends from Klamath Falls. I had mention to a friend at book club that I would love to go see the play WICKED, she said that she would too. By chance it was playing down in San Fransisco. The ball got rolling...and ended up with six women headed to SF to the play WICKED, but it turned out to be so much fun. I am also so grateful for Kyle who let me go and took care of the kids while I was gone. We left Friday morning in a minivan. Along the way we stopped at In and Out Burgers for lunch and then headed to the Oakland Temple. We were able to do a session and have dinner at the temple (it reminded me of the food that was at the MTC).

Here is a picture of all six of us at the Oakland Temple after our session. We walked the grounds and saw the beautiful grounds and view from the temple. Another fun thing is that you can walk on the top of the temple and get a greater view of the area. After we changed back into our street clothes we headed into SF. We walked the pier, stopped at this yummy bread shop-enjoyed some bread with dip, met some inserting people, and yes we stop at Ghirardelli to get yummy sundaes.

Cathy and I are sharing such a YUMMY treat.

It was so good.

We had ours down before everyone else had gotten theirs.

Here Amy and I are taking a ride on a trolley, just kidding it was a parked one-I don't think I could of hung off it like that if it was moving. I would of probably knocked into a car passing by.

The next day we went back to SF to have day checking out the sites. Here we are checking out the Golden Gate Bridge-yeah you can't really see the bridge because of the fog, but it was still cool to be there. Then we went down Lombard street you know the real winding street. Then headed into China Town, the time really went by quick in there. We had dinner at a REAL china restaurant-there was nothing american about this place. Took in some more China town. Met back together, changed and then had dinner at this nice restaurant. And then on to the play. I was so excited...

As you can see in this picture. The play was so much fun. Right after it was over I wanted to go see it again. I would love to take my girls to it, they would be singing right along with it. They know all the songs as we listen to the soundtrack all summer long.

On Sunday we drove home. But along the coast for awhile, we stop in Santa Cruz to check out that town- there is a lot of history there. Saw a lot of Light houses along the way home.

Here we are at the end of the trip.

Thanks girls for such a fun trip.

It will be one I never forget.

You are great friends.
