Every year we take the train downtown with most of our Church family to the Civic Opera House. Of course, the train ride is half the fun as we share stories, laugh, sing and just enjoy each other's company.
I just thought this picture was so sweet of Rebecca Gould and her Grandmother.
After the train ride, we take a short walk over to the opera house and fly down the isles to try and get a good seat. After securing a "group section" we head up the long flight of stairs to the top balcony to see the beautiful view.

After the performance, which was WONDERFUL, we walked over to Giordano's for some Chicago Pizza. YUM!
During dinner, I was able to snap a few pictures of our group, so here are a couple for your viewing enjoyment...
