We've been going, going, going all weekend. So, Saturday night we decided that we would lay low, rent a movie when we did our grocery shopping and watch it with some popcorn when we got home.
While we were at the store, a woman from our ward offered us symphony tickets! Never to turn down a free date, we eagerly accepted, knowing we had an hour to finish our shopping, get it home and put away AND drive all the way up the canyon to be in our seats for the symphony... yeah.. we wouldn't get there on time.
The Symphony started at 7:30. We were just getting started out the door at 7:15. We snagged some McDonalds and drove like crazy. As we got into Park City, it started raining... okay, this wasn't rain, it was BUCKETS of rain. The concert was outdoors, so we stopped at Smiths to see if they had any disposable rain ponchos. $10 later, we were on our way up to the resort.
We got parked, put on all our gear, in time for it to start drizzling. We presented our tickets to gain entry, and they pointed out--" These were for last night"
The sweet guy convinced his boss lady-- who is really quite mean-- that we could go ahead and go in-- because it was a horrible night. Everyone at the event was absolutely drenched.
We were a little confused-- there was a Beatles Tribute band playing and the concert we were excited to see was Beethoven's 5th. I thought maybe we'd get the symphony after intermission. So, we sat and waited for the show to resume, and it was still the Beatles.
Not that I don't like the Beatles, but I was tuned for Beethoven, and they kind of fell short. Both of us were quite miserable by that time. So we decided to call it a night and come home. Crazy, stuff, huh?
I think the best part was the Dots and Milk Duds John got at the store!!! :D
