Unlimited!

It was one down, two more to go until I arrived at the Apollo Theater where the West End production of Wicked was to be performed. My friend Emma had suggested I go and watch it after she saw the Broadway version and then several songs were performed on Glee so it was on my list of "To Watch Musicals" (not that I have one although now that I think about it...). It was completely different from what I imagined and was awesome! I loved it, it was hilarious! I don't want to ruin it for anyone who has yet to see it but it is really interesting how people sometimes view good and evil. The themes that resonated throughout the musical were really charming. Elphaba was my favourite!

Wicked stage, the only picture I was allowed to take (understandably)

We were at Wicked until 5ish so we went out to search for dinner afterwards in Covent Garden. Just like in many parts of the city there is always some type of entertainment nearby just like the group below. I can honestly say that I love going out with my parents. Even though their humor sometimes...distresses me...they can be very funny and we're always laughing (unless we get lost...the giggling stops there). I think I should now take the time to publicly say, "thanks mom and dad, this trip has been amazing. I'm so glad I got to see London with you two" (you may now "aww" to your heart's content!) It really has been an incredible experience that I will cherish (and get to read about) when I am older.

Well moving on to less sappy things, my parent's 20th anniversary (!) is coming up in a few weeks and my mom has included me in her brainstorming on how to present him with his gift. So my mom decided that we would go to a cute restaurant and I would leave the table for a moment while she gave him his first gift. Then when I came out I subtly whipped out a camera and got to photograph them frame by frame as my dad opened up a wrapped gift with a guidebook to Istanbul! He was so happy and surprised! They will be leaving (well, actually, they are in Istanbul as I write this) Sunday and won't come back until next Tuesday. So I am pretty much alone for the next few days (YESSS) when I go out into the city...or other places in the UK ;] Anyone want to guess where??

Unlike the ice cream picture from the previous post, this "real" Kodak moment shot is, well, real!

My dad and I, looking all sharp!
