Les Miz was here! Broadway San Jose hosted Les Misérables for one week and it was so nice to see it again after, gasp, thirty years! The last time I saw it was when it was at the Curran in San Francisco in the early 1990s. Not that I’m dating myself, but I digress. . .

Anyhoo. . .I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a portion of the load-in when the crew was building the set. It was fun to see the set go up and come alive! You can see a bit of the process in the photo above.

It’s amazing how much work goes into traveling Broadway shows. They have dozens of semi-trucks filled with the set, costumes and more. The crew travels with over a hundred people from place to place for one or two weeks at a time. They build the set in a day and take it down in a day, then they are off and away!

It’s amazing how mobile and efficient they are! We are so fortunate to have Broadway San Jose and their incredible show line-up right here in the south bay. In case you missed Les Miz, be sure to check out the upcoming shows and next season’s line up. Get the shows on your calendar so you don’t miss out!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you see a show soon!

Casual afternoon in Las Vegas

Vegas baby! We recently took a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas to watch our daughter’s cheer team compete in National’s. We are so proud of her! She is on her college cheer team, and they did such an amazing job at National’s placing first! Love!

We flew in on a Friday night and our plane was extremely delayed. By the time we got to the hotel, it was almost midnight and we were ready to crash; so no Friday night on the town for us!

On Saturday, our daughter’s cheer team didn’t compete until the evening, so we had some downtime during the day to relax. We met her at Zeffer’s Cafe inside the Westgate for lunch.

Zeffer’s Cafe was so yummy! We all enjoyed our meals. They had both brunch and dinner available on their menu, so I went with lunch. I would definitely go back!

After lunch, I was still exhausted from the previous night’s travel experience, so I got a cold brew to wake me up!

We sat by the pool and relaxed. It was a little bit chilly, so we didn’t go in the pool, just relaxed on deck. I enjoyed my coffee and my husband indulged in a beer. I may or may not have dozed off for thirty minutes, but I digress. . .

After relaxing at the pool, it was time to switch things up and change into our college merch for the cheer comp! I don’t have pictures of that to protect my daughter’s privacy, but it was an evening of tumbling, stunting, fun routines, and watching our daughter’s team claim first place. Go team!

Ah spring break! After my quick trip to College Station followed by Tucson, I had a couple of days left of spring break, so of course I met up with my fabulous friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun!

We enjoyed catching up on life with each other over a yummy meal at Stick and Wok at Valley Fair.

The food at Stick and Wok is really good, plus the owners are so nice and friendly! It was a really enjoyable experience. If you are local, I recommend popping in for a meal. You will enjoy it!

I wore my go-to barrel jeans and my Balenciaga City bag. They were perfect for a mild spring day. These jeans are so comfortable! I find myself reaching for them often. Love!
