We headed out to the Casa Del Prado theater in Balboa Park for our day of fun. It was a short play but very fun with 7 musical numbers and lots of costume changes, which we are still talking about here at home. The dancing Cupcakes golden legs are also a topic of conversation. The first thing she said as we were walking away is that she loved it and she wants to see another play right away. I love how excited she was and how much she enjoyed herself. My favorite song... You Get What You Get and You Don't Get Upset.
After leaving Balboa Park we wandered around a little and found the Goodwill Boutique on 16th. My baby sister spent all last year telling people she wasn't turning 30 until she had a Dooney and Bourke handbag. Her birthday was a couple of months ago, and she did turn 30 without it, but today I found the perfect bag at the perfect price. A mere $35 for this darling bag that you can find for full retail price here. I guess that goes to show that great things happen after the big 3-0. Meg likes "the B bag" a lot too and tried to convince me to let her keep it. By the time you turn 30, I told her, you might just have one, but it won't be this one.
We left out shopping expedition in search of lunch. I tried to talk her into a few different places we haven't been before, but she was stuck on MCD's. It's her favorite place. I can't eat anything good there anymore because of diabetes, but she had a good lunch and I did have my diet coke with sugar free vanilla syrup. Ah, the indulgence.
We got home about the same time as Dad and Bug who had gone to a new chief meet and greet BBQ. They had a great time, got a little too much sun and were glad to be home. Meg jumped on dad's lap and told him all about the costumes, songs and pink cupcakes that were for sale afterwards that Mom wouldn't stand in line to get for her. She wants to go and see Harold and the Purple Crayon next. I don't have a clue if she knows what that's about, but I remember it from my childhood. We might be looking for tickets sometime soon. If you are in the area, join us. It's going to be fun!

That looked like so much fun! The theatre is gorgeous! We are coming up in September. The 10-17. We're going to Disneyland, but we have a few extra days and were hoping to come and see you guys. Jim and Linda and the Kangs are coming with us, too. It will be like a family reunion.
YEAH Beth! That will be tons of fun. We have a spot for you. DL is out for me for the next few months, but there's tons to do down this way. Save your $ for the zoo- it's TOTALLY worth it.
I think everyone was waiting for us to leave...so that they could have a fun Disney trip without us!
It's awesome that you found a play Meg would love. ...and at her age, short is good!
That last comment wasn't mine! Sorry Lia, we just happened to finally save up enough for Disneyland, you are welcomed to join us if you'd like. So the zoo? It is really that great? Even better than SeaWorld? We can do that. We were planning to either come see you on Sunday the 11th or Thursday 15th. Which would be better for you guys? Sarah can be there too if it's Thursday.
Looks like so much fun!
