Chicago

Last weekend my sister, Sonia and I went to Chicago.  When she invited me to go with her a couple of months ago my first thought was "Is she crazy? I can't leave two newborns to go to Chicago!" However after she assured me that we would only be away for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon, I was in.  (And at the bargain price of $45 a ticket how could I pass it up!)

Wondering what a $45 ticket will buy?

 



Great seats to Chicago, The Musical. (Also one of my favorite movies)  I can't say enough good things about the show and it was equally wonderful to spend the day with Sonia and get a break from "mommy mode".  (Big thanks to Patrick... the kids were happy, the house was clean and the clothes laundered when I got home-- Thanks love!)

Another bonus of the afternoon was the stunning venue for the show. It was held at the recently renovated The Plaza Theatre  in downtown El Paso.  Here a few pics (borrowed from their website). Can't wait to take Patrick to a show there!

 

 Thanks Sonia for getting me out of the house for our "date"! :)  Next time we plan a girl's day out we'll have to make it a long weekend and head to the real Chicago.
