The Hills Are Alive.....

...with The Sound of Music!!!! :) (yes I sang that in my head as I typed it) Today, I got my Christmas present from Michael! He took me to see The Sound of Music in downtown St. Paul!! As most of you know, Michael is not a huge fan of musicals, so it was really a treat and fun gift that he took me to see one of my most favorite shows! Oh gosh, it was so good. It was all I could do to keep myself from singing along every song. I kept telling Michael "I wish our life was a musical!" On the way home Michael admitted that this was the best production he had ever seen! :) All the acting and singing were wonderful and the set was just beautiful!

After the show, we walked around the area called Rice Park which was right in front of the theater. They had it all decorated with tons of Christmas lights and decorations - it was just beautiful. We walked around and took pics for as long as we could take the 15 degree weather but it was just too much. So, we scurried back to the car with multiple numb body parts. Burr.

They always rank Mpls as one of the best cities to live in because it's so pretty. I did love that Charlie Brown statue. I'm so jealous you got to see The Sound of Music!
