Then that night we were off to the Pantages Theatre to see WICKED !!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!! it was FANTASTIC! We had 8th row! HOLY! we got so lucky because usually those seats are not available to the public! we got them for $90.00...a steal. We even sat next to Shane Sparks, the choreographer from *so you think you can dance*
i recommend it to everyone!I got to meet a few of the actors. this is the actress who plays Glinda the good witch.this is a pic of the stage inside the theatre...oops.the next day we went to the Hollihock House in Hollywood for a picinic and a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright House. so cool.then we went to the Holocaust Museum (so sad, i was a wreck) and then to the Getty Museum, where we had a guided tour of the impressionists. loved it!

after the Disney days we met up with Jason's best friend Julian. He is in the Marines and flies jets!!! Woo Hoo! took so many pics. Tried to get his little girl Annaliese to smile but she was not having it. Finally at the end i managed to get one of her hiding behind her grandma. it was fun.the boys playing in the front yard.
