Universal's Grinchmas

Brady has a few days off this week - use it or lose it time before the end of the year. On Tuesday after all the kids were off to school he and I headed down to Universal Studios. Since our season passes were good for two years (the kids' have expired), we decided to use them and see the new Grinchmas show they have going. It is a live stage show where the actors do all the singing/talking etc. live. It was really good, except for a little problem with Cindy Lou Who's voice in the first song. Ouch. I think I might try out next year - I'll bet I could get the part, off key and all. Anyway, we had a LOT of fun! We rode a few rides before the show started, watched the show, then went to HARD ROCK CAFE for lunch! We haven't been to one of those in ages. Back in our newlywed days we thought it was fun to eat at one whenever we traveled. Okay, so we'd only eaten in San Diego and Maui, but we were on a roll, right? Well, when we ate there on Tuesday, we realized why we'd stopped that little tradition - cha ching! $$$, especially for a family of seven. But, we had a great time there on Tuesday - just the two of us. We got home at 3:00 p.m., just in time for the troops to start coming home from school!

Got a close up of these funky looking "snouts" the actors had for noses. It was kind of freaky looking!

C'mon dear! We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC as well. Don't you remember my picture in front of Billy Joel's "Thrashed in the USSR" piano on the wall?

Okay, so my memory isn't as good as Brady's! He's superior in so many ways...:) I've also eaten at HRC in San Francisco, back in my single days.
