Enjoying New Years Eve

Outside the Ordway Theater

For our New Years Eve celebration we went to St Paul to see Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat.  When we were at the State Fair this summer, the Ordway Theater was selling tickets to the 2 PM show today for 1/2 price so Eileen and I and Amanda bought tickets.  Then trying to come up with a Christmas present for our oldest grandson Gunnar we discovered we could buy one adult ticket to the same show and get one youth ticket free.  So we split the cost between Paige and Gunnar as a part of their Christmas present.  Tickets left did not match ours as we were dead center 10th row and Paige and Gunnar were in the balcony but they said they were good tickets - ours were fantastic.  The voices were great and we all enjoyed the show. 

Due to the weather forecast we left 4 hours early.  We arrived in two hours so we went to a Greek restaurant in the old Union Station and had a delicious lunch.  Leaving the restaurant we were pelted with ice and the ramp into the parking lot was ice covered.  Luckily when the show was over the weather had improved and it changed to rain at 22 degrees so it just froze on the windshield.  The trip was a little slow on the way home but the worst was the 30 MPH guy on the two lane road.  We made it home fine just a little exhausting for me driving in those conditions.
