A Night in L.A.




Spur of the moment, Kristoffer's parents gave us tickets to Itzhak Perlman at the Walt Disney Concert Hall since his mother was not feeling well. We were amazed by the beautiful architecture of this concert hall that has some of the best acoustics in the world. Itzhak Perlman is the premier violinist of the world, so, needless to say, his performance was breathtaking! During intermission, we walked out onto the patio which is home to our country's smallest National Park. We felt like we were walking in a dream as we stepped out and saw an amazing view of the L.A. lights. I was especially taken by a tree that draped over the sidewalks with its large leaves and pink puffs for flowers. For the parents of a ten-month old, just the mere fact that we were having a date was a treat, but we were able to enjoy beautiful music, breathtaking views, and innovative architecture. Plus, the evening ended with Itzhak playing an encore of the theme of Schindler's List (which he performed for the movie).
