We got up a little early and did some chores before heading to Culver City’s McManus Park for Theo’s 5th birthday!\u00a0 Paul used to “play” in this park almost 60 years ago when there was only a small wooden library building and grass.\u00a0 Today it is quite fancy! Join the fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 12:15 we headed south and glad we did as the traffic was terrible.\u00a0 48 miles later and 12 minutes until the show started we landed at the Orange County Performing Arts Center to see the musical Shrek.\u00a0 The traffic was bumper-to=bumper for almost ten miles thanks to an accident on the 405.\u00a0 The show was terrific!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A very well put together production with great songs and wonderful cast<\/p><\/div>\n

We snuk a picture with the iPhone camera<\/p><\/div>\n

Immediately after the show we went to Seasons 52, one of our favorite places to dine.\u00a0 The food is fantastic, the service amazing, and plenty of selection for the vegetarians!\u00a0 Paul had the clam and shrimp Cioppino (fish soup) and swordfish…. Join us at Season’s 52<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great wine selections<\/p><\/div>\n

Did You Know? <\/strong>Cioppino is a fish stew originating in San Francisco. Despite being considered an Italian dish, it is unknown in Italy, and it is only slightly comparable with various regional fish soups and stews of Italian cuisine. Cioppino is traditionally made from the catch of the day, which in the dish’s place of origin is typically a combination of dungeness crab, clams, shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels and fish. The seafood is then combined with fresh tomatoes in a wine sauce, and served with toasted bread, either sourdough or baguette. The dish is comparable to cacciucco and brodetto from Italy, as well as other European fish dishes, such as bouillabaisse, burrida, and bourride of the French Provence, suquet de peix from Catalan speaking regions of coastal Spain.<\/p>\n

We then headed for home into the sunset so we could feed and visit the babies before heading back to Garden Grove for a dance with Jerry Benton.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Goodbye sun, see you tomorrow if all goes well<\/p><\/div>\n

We danced until 10:30 and finally decided it was homeward bound.\u00a0 Bob tried to catch us on camera but alas, we were still moving too fast!<\/p>\n

We just move too fact for the camera<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
