Rent At Wolf Trap

Last night the boyfriend and I went to see Rent at Wolf Trap. We took a picnic with us to have before the show started. This is actually our second “concert” of the summer. I know it’s a broadway show but it was full of music so I’ll consider it a concert.


The evening began with a few raindrops. We had to move our spot on the lawn a few times to avoid the rain but were able to settle down and enjoy our picnic. Not long after that the show began. I thought it was hard to follow along but the boyfriend didn’t have any trouble. I guess I’m not used to following the story line in song. After the intermission I was able to follow a little better. Even so, we enjoyed the show, the songs, and the story.


I’m not sure this one wil rank high on our summer concert list, but it will be on the list. So far the George Benson concert is the best this season. We have a few other concerts later this summer that I’m sure we’ll enjoy.

Holiday Weekend Activities

You won't believe it but I didn't take any photos this weekend. We did so many things but it seems I never thought to take the carmera out. Oh well.

On Friday night the boyfriend had a small holiday dinner party. The only guests were straight people. There were a lot of fun and enjoyed their company. Of course we had some nice wines too.

On Saturday we ran some errands and then went to The Joy Of Christmas concert at the National Cathedral. The music was beautiful. The boyfriend was in the mood and singing every song on the program. He even sang the songs with the Scandinavian Youth Choir. He has such a beautiful voice. During the concert he even noticed when I was closing my eyes so I could feel the music.

After dinner we walked down the block to Cafe Deluxe. We had a cozy dinner with a nice bottle of Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc. It's one of our favorites.

Then on Sunday morning we joined our friend, Michael, for a holiday brunch at his friend's house. After that we can home and had some afternoon snuggles. But then the boyfriend had to get going and so the wonderful weekend was over. It was busy, but we had a great weekend.
