Jo and I headed to Chicago yesterday afternoon to join my sister to see the Hamilton musical. I know the show has gotten a lot of press and hype, but it is really worth it. It combines great songs and dancing, with a touch of humor and to top it all of teaches a little bit of history. It was a very enjoyable evening starting off with dinner at Noodles and Company which was another pleasant surprise. None of us had ever been there always thinking it was ramen noodle like dishes for college kids. We all had their Pad Thai and it was quite tasty, not too filling just before the show, and we could convince ourselves it was somewhat healthy. Then it was off to the show where we took the obligatory pictures that everyone attending the show seems required to take and post somewhere - in other words, standing in front of the marquee and another selfie with the stage in the background (we did see another stage selfie option which is to hold up the playbill so it is in the picture, we were struggling enough getting the three of our heads in so the playbill stay politely out of sight). So here is our contribution to make the world a more photographed place - and yes no matter what we seem to do we can't seem to take a good selfie (arms must be too short).
All too soon it was time to head back to the hotel for a short night of sleep before taking the early morning train so Jo could be back in the office at her usual time - quick trip, but lots of fun packed into it.
