Road Trip to See "Wicked" in Kansas City

I had the pleasure of traveling to Kansas City in early December to take my daughters to see "Wicked" the musical.  It was a great time, but seemed like a really long day.  We left Saturday morning by 10:00 and got back late the same night.  After watching the show in the afternoon, we drove to Kansas City's Country Club Plaza and looked at all the beautiful lights and horse-drawn carriages, and then had supper.  My son's friend, Jourdan and her mom joined us for the trip, which made for great company as we drove 3.5 hours each direction.  If you ever get a chance to see "Wicked", I highly recommend it.  Just make sure to watch "The Wizard of Oz" before you go, and maybe again afterward!
