Moulin Rouge in Philly

 I won the ticket lottery again, this time for Moulin Rouge! The Musical when it came through Philly. Mr. Click took the day off and we made a day of it. We took the train to the city for the matinee show.  We walked around the Fashion District for awhile because we were early and it was hot outside.

Heading over to the theatre and we picked up our tickets at the box office. Our seats weren't great this time but we were able to move to get a better view once it started.

We've seen Moulin Rouge the movie, but it's been awhile so we weren't quite sure what to expect.

We loved the show and how they updated it from the movie with newer songs while keeping the important ones in the show. We are always blown away by the talent of these performers.  We had an early dinner at our favorite Bar Bombon then walked back to the train for an easy ride home!

4th of July Weekend

 4th of July weekend kicked off with celebrating this guy's birthday a little early.

He got his favorite-White Chocolate Chip Fruit Tart-birthday treat and even better, both girls were home for the long weekend.

We got to have an impromptu meetup with some friends at a local beer garden that was so much fun.

4th of July starts bright and early on the parade route.

Getting ready for the parade.

The girls got to meet their newest cousin. Isn't see adorable?

Waiting for the parade and for lots of candy to come our way.

It wouldn't be 4th of July if Elvis didn't serenade my mother in law.

All of the grand kids that were there this year.

We had a bbq after the parade with lots of good food and I even tried a pickle back shot! It wasn't bad! How was your 4th?

Life Lately

 A bit of my life lately...

The deck was looking pretty and we had our first fire in the fire pit.

City Girl 2 was home for a weekend and we went to see Mr. Click's band. #imshort

We had our first s'mores of the summer. Have you tried them with the Reeses' Cup Thins and Ritz Crackers? So good!

Another critter friend on my walk. Hello there!

This critter was not happy about me packing for a trip.  City Girl #1 broke her foot and also needed a minor mouth surgery so we went into the city to help out.

We stayed at the lovely Indigo Hotel.  

Gotta get the hotel room selfie!

We stopped at CG 2's apartment first and I got some time with this cutie.

We had dinner at a cool restaurant in Williamsburg and it started to pour. We were in the greenhouse so we didn't get wet but it felt very tropical.

Arming myself with some coffee at the hotel's cool coffee bar.

We walked down to the water. What a view.

more views!

We stopped at Blackseed Bagels for breakfast. 

It was my first pumpernickel everything bagel. Yum!  

Walking around Grand Central Market while waiting for CG 1.

Grand Central Station never gets old!

I got to spend some quality time with this handsome fella as his mom recuperated.

{Field Trip} An Evening with Dr. Zahi Hawass

Hey I'm back! I didn't mean to take a week off but it happened.  

Did you try my Strawberry Crunch Cake recipe? yet I made it again for the 4th and everyone loved it. 

This was an interesting field trip that Mr. Click and I took. It was even more memorable because we were experiencing a lot of smoke from the Canadian wild fires.  We took the train to Philly which made getting into town super easy.

We went to an evening lecture by Dr. Zahi Hawass at the Philadelphia Convention Center.  If you don't know him, he's an Egyptian archeologist, Egyptologist and former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs.   

He also studied at the University of Pennsylvania.  We've seen him in a lot of Discovery Channel shows about ancient Egypt so it was fun getting to see and hear him in person.

He's got lots of great stories and is so interesting to listen to. It makes me want to go to Egypt and visit one of the archeological sites with him.

Mr. Click bought one of his books. He's a super fan.

Afterwards we had dinner at Barbuzzo -delicious! then took the train home.   Definitely different kind of date night but a good one!  How was your 4th of July?
