I went to see Cirque du Soleil's Corteo!
It was whimsical girl's night with Portia and my sister.
My sister!
My family!
My Dodger's Blue Crew!
All the little girls came out for Hello Kitty Night.
Including us.
To be honest, I only go to Dodger Stadium for the free merch and gab fest.
Viva Los Angeles!
Weekend baking.
Greasy disruption from outlet shopping in Camarillo.
Jaws in waiting.
Tortilla chip and salsa dip dream tower.
Below a Mexican dream escape.
Greg, our neighbor (in the blue shirt) is in a band!
All the RVs in our neighborhood moved out thanks to Nithya Raman, our city councilmember. I voted for her!
Warm weather brings out night markets.
And birria taco food trucks.
Family mocktail hour.
Someone else's cocktail hour.
New threads for Presley's culmination.
Girls living the carb life.
David's best friend got hitched.
Steam night at the middle school back when she was still a 6th grader.
Prismatic.
Like the lady's toes/sandal ensemble next to me.
And just like that, my nephew is on to high school.
Baby's breath for my girl.
Smell of grass and rubber takes me back to my high school running days. Go Elliot!!
I am a child of the 80's after all.
And Universal Studios won't let me or my brother forget it.
If you were a child of the 80's you'd remember the scary collapsing bridge on the studio tour or the animatronics and live actors laser battle in Battle of Galactica. Also, the Miami Vice show and the western stunt show where the cowboy falls from the roof into quicksand.
They're all retired and replaced now with what's new in popular culture.
But Portia and I still had a superb day.
Licking cinnamon sugar dust off our lips was first on our itinerary.
We walked through the shops of Hogsmeade and stumbled across an array of wizarding wands. My niece Dylan liked Seraphina Picquery's "pink one".
Enchanting delights at Honeydukes.
I ran into my childhood crush.
In between roller coasters, our fingers...
And tongues turned blue.
Lunch at a theme park always taste so satisfying.
Cousins creating their own Universal memories as children of the 2000s.
Proof of a highly enjoyable day when you have to be carried out of the park.
Till we meet again.
