Back in August, my parents sent all of us kids an email saying, “Save the Date of Dec 5th in the evening.” That is all we knew. The day before the 5th, we got an email telling us the address and time of where we were to meet downtown. So we did.
Barolo was the spot. It was a great Italian restaurant. We had a private corner behind some wispy curtains. Here is a picture of partial attendance. After this was taken, my sister Jennie and Mike showed up. I wish I had a picture of the entire group! I did, however, get this funny shot of my brother!!
We started out with wine, and moved into dinner. We visited, caught up, and enjoyed our time together. In the middle of dinner, my parents handed out the next part of the evening…tickets to the 5th Avenue Theatre.
During dinner, my parents handed out the next part of the evening…tickets to the 5th Avenue Theatre.
My parents only got tickets for us kids, and not for themselves. We couldn’t quite understand that, but went forward with the plan.
After dinner, we hopped in a cab and headed to the 5th Ave.
Many of the workers in the foyer were dressed as characters, and they had “the lamp” in all forms, all over the lobby. Pretty cute!
The show was cute. There was more singing in the theatre than there was in the movie. My favorite character in the play was the Dad. He was hilarious! All of us kids got to sit together and enjoy the show as a group. After the show, we walked back to the restaurant and enjoyed the festive lights and atmosphere of downtown Seattle.
It was a great evening, and very memorable. What a wonderful treat and surprise from my folks. Love them!!
