Broadway Rocks

I have been wanting to see the musical "Cats".  When it came to the Majestic Theater, Mark let me know so I could get tickets.  I bought 2 for Friday night.  The day after I bought them, I began to wonder about some symphony tickets I had purchased earlier.  I looked at the dates and they were the same night and the same time.  I couldn't return either set of tickets.  I called my Mom and she said that she and my Dad would use them and I was able to get another ticket for Rebecca to go with them.  I then purchased 2 more tickets for Saturday afternoon.

My parents ended up not being able to come for the play.  I asked a friend if she and her daughter (who is Rebecca's friend) would take Rebecca to the play for me.

Mark and I dropped Rebecca off at our friends home as we were headed to San Antonio to the Symphony.

I really enjoyed the symphony.  They did a show called Broadway Rocks.  3 singers that have sung on Broadway performed the show with the San Antonio Symphony as their accompaniment.  The did a great job.

As we were leaving the parking garage from the show, Mark and I both had the thought that we needed to stay in the garage.  We ignored the thought and left anyway.  You would think that we would know better.

I was trying to get a shot that shows the damage.

It started raining as we left the garage.  As we got onto I-10 it began to really rain.  Then the hail started and the rain became quite heavy.  I am so glad Mark was driving.  We could hardly see and I honestly thought the hail was going to break the windows of the car.  Later the news said that it was golf ball size hail.  I never want to be in something like that again.

I called Rebecca to see if she was out of the play yet.  She called me back and said they were still in the parking garage at the Majestic.  I told them to stay there because the hail and rain were so bad.  After about 20 minutes or so, they left and headed for home.  Rebecca said the rain was really bad but there was very little hail.  There is an area of I-10 that splits and part of it goes up and part of it goes down.  I am sure they designed it that way to help with traffic in the downtown area.  I read in the paper that the lower level flooded and they had to close that section of 1-10.

We had a great evening but a very scary night.  We were blessed that we were able to arrive home safely.
