A Rare Night Out

Second City National Touring Company @ Wolf Trap

So we were very fortunate this weekend, Will's mom came to babysit Colin! Will and I were going out to celebrate a friend from work's birthday!! They had tickets to a show at Wolf Trap. It is a place that usually has concerts and shows outside during the summer. Will and I have been to a couple shows there over the last few years. We saw Joss Stone, Huey Lewis and the News and Bill Cosby. I am glad it was indoors because it was pretty cold. I am guessing that the building use to be a Barn, but it was made to be pretty nice.

The show was Second City National Touring Company. There was 6 members that did comedy skits and improv. Comedians have to audition for this company and it has had quite a few famous people come out of it. Some of those are: Alan Arkin, Joan Rivers, both Belushi brothers, John Candy, Bill Murray, Bonnie Hunt, Chris Farley, Mike Meyers, and Tina Fey.

They had us laughing the whole time! I was so impressed with the groups ability to perform skits off of words yelled out by the audience. They have to be very knowledgeable. One person yelled a place they wanted to go before they died, I forgot the name but Will and I had no idea where it was. I guess it was an Amish area and it turned out to be a pretty funny skit.

So, thank you to Grandma Liz!! Will and I had such a good time and from what we heard Colin had a great time spending the evening with one of his grandmas. That is great news, since this is the first time we left him with someone else for that long and at night! Maybe we can venture out again!
