We're off to see the Wizard! The Wonderful Wizard of OZ! Actually, we're more excited to see Alphaba and Glinda. The start to our adventure!
Now THAT is a dessert! Claim Jumpers is pretty much amazing. Our chicken pot-pie left-overs are in the bags. Unfortunately, we didn't finish the dessert, and even more unfortunate - we couldn't get it to go... it would have melted. :(
On the B.A.R.T. (Bay Area Regional Transit) heading into the city. This route actually goes under the Bay!
The view of the Oakland Temple frome the B.A.R.T. (zoomed in of course). We were sealed in this temple almost a year ago!!!
Lions and Tigers and Bears.. OH MY! Forging our way through Golden Gate Park as we try to find the Flower Observatory.
My husband may be a Scoutmaster, but I did the forging over the river and through the woods to find.......
THE EMERALD CITY! Okay maybe not... but we made it the the Flower Observatory at least, and I was excited I was able to Navigate it out!
There were some pretty magical things going on in the observatory...
After my Scoutmaster took the turn of leading through the Park... and a detour to see something that caught his eye... and on a trail that looked like it lead us in the right direction... and past that old log cabin and college students doing something artsy... and around what we hoped would be our destination... we finally arrived at Stow Lake. This was finally it... the Pagoda to eat our lunch in!
This is no cowardly lion. Jason got the job done rowing us around Stow Lake as we talked about our year together and how there truly is no place like home. And we wouldn't mind having our own personal lake like this someday by our home.
Ahhh... The joys or having a husband who can row. Now this is my version of the River Test. Can my strong handsome guy row me romantically around the lake? YES. Besides, if I were the one rowing.....
It would look something like this.
Taking a break from rowing to enjoy the beautiful view. California may not have natural waterfalls in San Francisco like they do in Oregon, but we sure know how to did a huge whole in the middle of nowhere to build a man-made lake and pile the dirt in one mound to create our own waterfalls!
Thankfully the trees were not apple trees. We weren't in the mood to be pelted with apples by mean trees. I thought this would be a neat picture, and it turned out great!
The moment we've all been waiting for! We've finally arrived!!!
You don't need Ruby Slippers to take you to this place! Only tickets that have been bought and paid for... We're finally going to see "WICKED"!!!
Well, the trip was amazing, the play phenomenal, and the memories priceless. Needless to say, we are definitely going to be seeing this play again.
