Amarillo Visit

On our way back from Utah we stopped in Amarillo to see my friend Sue. I know I'm a little behind the time table, but at least I am writing about it now. Sue and I are friends from high school. Some of the best memories I have are from high school and times with Sue and my friends.

She made us dinner, which was heaven after road food. She is an awesome cook as well. Then we got a backstage tour of the Amarillo concert hall. Sue works for the symphony there and she has an awesome job. The building was amazing. Everything in it had a story and a reason. Ken and I loved hearing all about it. The boys loved running wild-great news as being held captive in a car for two days.


This picture is one of my favorite features. It's the ceiling of the lobby. It is made out of the grates on cattle trucks. How Texan is that! Everything about the building pays some kind of homage to it's Texas panhandle roots. The auditorium was very geometric with vibrant shades of orange and purple. It had a modern look to it that was memorizing. I would post a picture of the hall, but none of them turned out. We toured the backstage area, the side rooms, and the stage. Kenny played a little on the beautiful Steinway piano while the boys pretended to play cello and piano.

Thank you Sue for showing us a great time. We always love visiting with you.
