Changing Fortunes

Mom, Dad, myself and the W's went to Dinner and the RPO together.

Dinner was at PF Changs, one of my favorite places. The food did not disappoint! I normally skip the fortune cookies as I do not eat them, today I wanted a fortune. I took one of the cookies and opened it. Apparently i was supposed to run into the person I was meant to be with. Unfortunately that was not the fortune that came true.

Both Mom and Mrs. W got the same fortune, their luck would change. They both said they were having good luck so far and this was not a good fortune. Thus it is the one that came true.

On the way to the concert from dinner we sat in loads of traffic. It took 45 minutes to go 5 miles (or less) to the concert parking lot. Then for the first time ever parking was not free. (on the upside we did have the cash on us). Once parked it was a short walk to the ticket takers. Signs everywhere announced yet another negative change, no outside food or drinks. No longer can you pack a picnic to enjoy the concerts. A past time both families had previously enjoyed. we have no idea if it is just for this concert series or if it is for the venue.

We sat down just in time for the music to start. The music was ok (the first half was not as great) but the second half and the fireworks more then made up for the first half.

The ride home was interesting. Mrs. W took us the back way to pick up the car to avoid traffic. One of the roads was closed taking us well out of our way. For the second night in a row I went to bed LATE.

Despite the change in luck I had a great time and would do it all again.
