Morganton NC and Lowell MA






Thursday we got into Morganton NC. There was no show Thursday night so we were able to grab some dinner and do a little shopping at WalMart which was right near our hotel. Friday morning the boys had school and Cindy and Gary arrived :) It was so good to see them and spend some time with them! We had dinner together and then put Colin on the bus for soundcheck. Cindy, Gary, and I headed to the theatre a little later. Cindy and Gary seemed to really enjoy the show. I was so happy that they were able to see Colin perform. After the show, I introduced them to most of the castmembers and brought Cindy on the bus to see our amazing home on the road! I don't think she was really impressed lol!! We headed back to the hotel where Sue and Mikey joined us for some wine(Sue had the wine, not Mikey, lol!) We had a great visit and really enjoyed spending time with both Cindy and Gary.

After having breakfast, we said our goodbyes to Cindy and Gary and took the shuttle to the airport. The kids and parents were lucky enough to fly to Boston while the rest of the cast had to spend 14 hours on the bus. We flew into Boston and took a shuttle to the hotel. After checking into the hotel, we headed out for our Valentine's dinner at a nice little italian restaurant. Steve called and kidded that he was taking his cute young valentine (haha Morgan) out to dinner and I kidded back that I had a date with a young stud (colin!) Speaking of young stud, one of the girls who was at the Jacksonville Q&A friended colin on facebook. She asked him for an interview for her school newspaper. She said no one reads the newspaper now, so she thought if she interviewed Colin they may read it. She told him that he was the talk of the school. Colin had a grin a mile wide as he answered the interview questions lol!

We got to sleep in this morning and then headed for a late breakfast and then to the theatre for sound check. We were so excited because Jenn Harrison drove down to see the show. It was so great to see her! She seemed to really enjoy the show and luckily we were able to get great seats!During intermission we ran into a little boy(who we later learned was named Brendan)with his mom. Brendan was absolutely adorable! He was singing the songs from the show and couldn't stop talking about it. Sue and I introduced ourselves to Brendan and his mom and had a great chat with them. After the show we ran into them again and Brendan was really anxious to meet some of the cast. He kept asking who was Jack Dawkins mom. After a little bit, I realized that Dodger's real name was Jack Dawkins! This little boy, knew right off the bat that Dodger was Jack Dawkins, but after seeing the show close to 100 times I didn't even pick up on it lol!!! The boys went up to meet Brendan after the show and really enjoyed talking with Brendan. Brendan especially loved Mr Bumble, so Sue went to find Chaz for him. As soon as he saw Chaz he ran up and gave him a hug. He was so adorable he definitely made our day!!!
Colin and I are really looking forward to our Golden Day tomorrow. We'll most likely just relax most of the day here in Lowell :)
Next stop.....Springfield MA :)
