Saturday Night...

First we headed here...





Then onto the show...at a little place called the....


To see the live performance of....





It was magical. I for one, am not one to enjoy anything in the category of fine arts. I hate musicals, I despise dancing, and I usually do just about anything to avoid seeing them. My mom and sisters are crazy about this kind of thing, and I often get dragged along cause I don't want to miss out on girls night. However, when Thiago found out "Lion King" was coming to the Capitol Theatre, he jumped right on that. He usually hates that kind of thing too, but he looooves the Lion King and thought it would be so cool to see it. I reluctantly agreed.

My hesitancy was wasted though, cause I loved it. It was so wonderful, made me feel like I was in another time and place. I couldn't believe the beauty, yet quaintness of the Capitol Theatre. Like I said, it was magical. My mom and Dean got tickets to go with us, but Dean had something come up at the last minute...so Rosemary came in his place.




I will admit, lately come 9:00 my eyes start to get pretty heavy. I felt them starting to droop a few times during the last half, but I did my best to stay alert. So glad I did, cause it was wonderful. Definetly something different for us, and out of our norm for a date night. I think that is what made it so special though. Thanks honey, mommy dear, and Rose for a fun night!!

You are such a copycat!

I am sorry but your comment to me had me laughing my head off, you nut! You look darling in these pictures, and I am so glad you didn't fall asleep otherwise I am not sure Thiago would have brought you home, really I am not even sure how it's possible to get heavy eyes during such a performance, but it is you we are talking about.

I'm so happy that you actually enjoyed the show. There is nothing quite like a Broadway show.

Alright I said on Jenny's that I thought maybe I was the only one who did not see the Lion King. Yes I am now for sure thinking that. So glad you got away for an evening it is always so important to do that for yourself and hubby. (I am a great one to talk!!)
