Because I knew you...I have been changed for good.

This weekend my mom came to Lincoln to spend some quality time and so we could take a little side trip to Omaha on Saturday.  While in O-town, we met up with my Uncle Tom and his girlfriend Jennifer for dinner at The Grey Plume at Midtown Crossing, followed by the Broadway musical Wicked at The Orpheum!

First for the meal!  Midtown Crossing was finished just after I moved from the Omaha area so now every time I go back and have the opportunity, I try to check out one of the new restaurants in that area.  This time we chose The Grey Plume which is a restaurant that bases their menu on seasonally-available foods and strives to utilize locally grown produce and livestock.  It is a smaller restaurant so it is a more intimate setting than a lot of places in the area.  The food was phenomenal!  We had great wine and a great cheese and meat plate to start and then I had an amazing Dungeness Crab Angnolotti which is a delicious crab ravioli with vegetables and a lemon jelly.  So great!

After dinner we made it over to The Orpheum to see Wicked. I have always wanted to see this show and I was not disappointed!  It was amazing! A wonderful story and exceptional performances by all of the cast, musicians, and crew.  What a great evening!!
