DAY 3 IN LOS ANGELES

Nordstrom loves their shopper's pets!


G
Eating at Maggiano's.  We had the family style meal!  

I have to use 'GREEN' today in honor of WICKED!  What an incredible experience it was to go to Wicked!  If you ever get the chance to go you should take it.  The music is divine.....the costumes are beautiful and so fitting with the story.......THE STORY.....PERFECT!  Wicked is a story of Good and Evil....  The question is posed in the beginning, Is someone born wicked or is it developed over time????  The two female leads, Galinda and Elphaba have amazing voices that blend together so beautifully you could melt into a puddle of peace!  As you can tell, I LOVED WICKED!  
While we were waiting for Todd, we ran into Nordstrom.  I thought 'only in L A' as I saw a sign on the escalator.......  To summarize the sign it says, "Watch out for your pets on the escalator so that they don't get hurt."  Not one mention of being cautious with your children on the escalator.......Go figure that one out... We saw oodles of people shopping with their dogs in every exclusive store.....  I just don't get it.
We met Todd and Crew at The Grove after the play.  Thanks so much Todd for taking care of Crew so that Emily could go to the play.  You did a great job being the babysitter!  We also met Steve DeVries, Emily's brother-in-law, who is working in LA right now, away from his home work base in Charlotte, N.C.  We ate at Maggiano's and it was very good.  So much food on the table we could hardly find room for the plates.  It was a very wonderful day.

Well--just a quick comment on the sign. I have a dog and no children; hence, I love my dog and would love to be able to take my best friend shopping with me everywhere. We had to leave Addi at the motel in St. George when we decided to go shopping. How nice it would be to take kids AND dogs out for shopping therapy! Maybe someday when I am lucky enough to have kids, my opinion will change!
