Beethoven & Beatles

 

The CalPhil (California Philharmonic) puts on a summer concert series at the Arboretum in Arcadia. It's such a posh venue - Aunt Pat and Uncle Bear reserve a table on the front section of the lawn before the reflecting pool. 

Last summer we saw a concert based on John Williams music, but this summer we're seeing one called 'Men who changed Music - Beethoven & the Beatles.' The occasion? Carlean's Birthday! Our merry party included the birhtday girl, Aunt Pat and Uncle Bear, Mia, Shaun, myself and the kids, and Marge.

We had a tasty salad of asperagus & peas with vinaigrette on arugula, rotisserie chicken, curried potatoes, and mixed green salad with a sweet vinaigrette. Then at intermission, we had cake :)

Immediately after dinner, Eli rolled up in his blanket on the lawn and wasn't heard from again until it was time to go home. Abi on the other hand, was a ball of engergy. She was clapping and singing along as the cover band 'Fab Four' did their performance.
