Mountain Grease

Today was Harry Potter's birthday, Marina decided to wear her Hufflepuff outfit. She watched a YouTube video to learn how to tie the tie.

We’ve been doing a lot of driving around the state for the past few days. Today we had one more road trip. We had tickets to see Grease at a mountain theater, two hours southwest of home. We had to leave fairly early for the long drive. This trip took us into the mountains farther south than we’d been before. We passed a few places Marina had been before. The scenery was pretty, but it was much like what we had seen before.

We arrived about 45 minutes before the show started. We ate lunch fore we went to the theater. It looked old on the outside but was modern on the inside. We picked up our tickets which were next to a popcorn stand. Of course, Marina wanted popcorn. So we bought some and went to find our seats. Members of the cast in costume were the ushers. Since it was so early we talked with them for a bit and took a photo with them.

The show was fun and well performed. We had seen Grease before, but this was a different script than what we had seen. After it was over, we took a few more photos with the cast members. Marina also discussed her Hufflepuff outfit with them. Several of the actors said they belong to the same house.

Marina had seen a sign for an ice cream shop on the way into town. So we decided to stop there for a treat before we drove home. They didn’t have a place for us to sit and eat the ice cream, so we went to the car and finished them there. Then we were ready for the long trip home.
