Today marks a new adventure in our life!! We have left Avery for 3 nights with the grandparents and are on our way to Las Vegas to go see the Lion King. We are seeing how long it takes to miss her too much. We lasted about 2 hours, when we rolled into Twin Falls. Ring, ring....How's the baby? 'She doesn't even know you're gone!' ...well, good to know we're missed!!
We are staying with our friends Kristin and Blair tonight, Sunday, and then heading down Highway 93 through Ely and on down to Vegas for Monday and Tuesday night. The Lion King opens on Tuesday night and we are to be seated 8 pm sharp!! (Kim has been waiting to go to the Lion King for more than 10 years!! Yay!!--good thing Tyler loves me!!) The story is this:
Back in high school, The Lion King debuted on Broadway and made a lot of news. I really got interested to see it, but never thought too seriously about going. Then, when I returned to college in 03, we were asked as an assignment to make a goal collage to hang in our offices when we graduate (kind of silly, but nonetheless.) The theory was that if you have your goals staring you in the face, the more likely you would be to accomplish them. One 'goal' for me was to go to New York City and see The Lion King.
Well, we got to NYC just this winter. However, due to uncontrollable circumstances, we were unable to see The Lion King. I was disappointed, but I knew someday...
Then we headed to California for workm and as we headed through Vegas, we saw the billboard "Coming in May!! The Lion King!!"....and things set in motion!! We decided that we would make this work, and since we have never left Avery for more than a night, we felt this was a perect opportunity to take a mini vacation.
We look forward to it!!
