Saturday: St. Patrick's Madness

I told you they turned the river green and Green it was! I watched the 3 hour long, cold St. Patrick's Day Parade while Tim was at his conference. I have never seen so many people get into the holiday. Just walking down the street you couldn't turn your head without seeing green clothes and jewelry. I quickly broke down and bought a necklace-you can see it in the river picture. My green shirt hidden under my coat just wasn't enough! Note to to the BYU FOLK DANCE TEAM: Watch the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade for your upcoming Irish Dancers. There were tons of them in the parade!After the parade, I went to the Art Museum (Tim was still at his conference). It is a really great museum with a lot of famous pieces. I absolutely loved the impressionist, and enjoyed others. I'm glad I could be so "cultured."

Lastly, Saturday night we ate a delicious dinner at the Corner Bakery and got to see Wicked! -the play I had been waiting so see for quite some time! I had the music for it, but the soundtrack just doesn't make sense without seeing the play -the "true" story behind the witches in The Wizard of Oz!
