A Wicked Date

Last week, Derek surprised my by saying that he found a babysitter for saturday and that I should get online and buy some tickets to go see Wicked in San Fransisco. So I did, and we had a blast.

We decided to go to the matinee, so that we wouldn't get home too late. Derek also thought we should have a Halloween theme, so I bought some orange and black "witch" tights and some bangle bracelets, and he got a spidery halloween shirt.

We took the BART Train into the city, and that was fun because we could just chat and people watch. I felt slightly conspicuous in my garb, but no one noticed me. We were in San Fansisco, after all. I was hardly the most outlandishly dressed.

I also have to say that it is so fun to go on a date with your spouse, all of the fun, none of the "does he like me? am I being to forward, too backward" stuff that you have to worry about when you were single. Derek added that it is great to know that you aren't wasting money one a girl that you aren't going to have a future with.

There were a few cafes near the theater, so we stopped into one called "Munch Haven" to grab some lunch. Then we headed to theater. We really enjoyed the performance. I had seen it once before in New York, but I liked this one better. The actors seemed to have better chemistry together.

Afterwards, we headed home to find our lovely children had had a fun day with the babysitter as well. Thanks Shanna!!
