On Valentines Day we decided to get out of town. ROAD TRIP! After dilly dallying and in no hurry to get out of bed we finally left Sac for SF. The city by the bay called and it was on. Upon arrival we stumbled into a weird weather phenomenon; Summer. It was a bit too bright and warm for SF. Maybe we had strangely arrived in Phoenix. The car AC was on it the city and the freaks were out. Having a break in the cold weather everyone was out at our destination; Golden Gate Park. We didn't drive by the Full House TV houses, we didn't veer off the path to go to Fisherman's Warf we knew want we wanted. The Japanese Tea garden.


The Tea Garden is a slice of mossy, koi, path meandering heaven for us. It' our tourist trap and we soaked it up along with all the other Italian, Russian, German tourists and even a few Anime costume wearing visitors. It's a tee garden, it's Valentines so we had to stop at the trap in the middle of the garden and grub down on so so Japanese inspired cuisine. But at most tea service there needs to be finger sandwiches and this Gaijin snapped up the sandwich morsels without realizing it had been poisoned with Wasabi powder. Ok so it wasn't poisoned but for some reason I didn't notice on the board the inclusion but my mouth sure felt it. More green tea please!

Since my parents live in bay we decided it was only right we pop in to see those love birds and have a cup of "proper" british afternoon tea. Talking around the table sipping tea with our pinkies out as time went by. Eventually a cake appeared and there was much reveling. Chocolate, Coffee/Espresso with a heart shaped ring of raspberries. We never had it so good. After the sugar coma we managed to roll out as evening struck and the light started to go. The dark makes the trip home seem quicker in some ways or maybe it was the sugar plum fairies and their magic cake dust?????

Hooked on a Feeling

Friday night we went to the opening night of the Sacramento Ballet production of Peter Pan. Being just before Valentines there was a sea of red: Dresses, Roses, Shawls, and even a few bouncing head piece heart thingies. We really enjoyed ourselves. The production was a two parter to fill time as the actual Peter Pan ballet wasn't long enough to break up halfway with an intermission. So we were rah rah'ed with a bunch of Stars and Stripes. The first production of the evening featured regiments of dancers making happy feet to Philip Souza. Because of the great antici ....... pation for PAN I felt a bit snouza. Bring me PAN! and get on with it.

Peter Pan was off the hook. Both the production as well as the actor. The Ginger haired sprite was all over the stage and zinging up and down, throughways, sideways, upside down, summersaulting in mid air thanks to the trusty wires from the sky. You get the point; he flew all over. The guy was born for this role.

However, I'd have to say that in a few scenes he was upstaged by a dog. A big shaggy dog costumed actor rolling all over the floor but managing to bring the dog to life with emotion. The crowd loved it.

Hook.........Looky Looky at Hooky. He brought a foppish swagger to the stage and a handful of drunken sailors as well. Played a bit more cowardly than you might remember with a pinch of Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean, Hook added a piece of dastardly hilarity to the production. What was he going to emote next? When Hook rode out on a tricycle with a pirate flag attached the patrons at the Community Theatre lost it. No ticking tocking was heard just laughter.

If you get the chance dream big and fly out of your window and see the Sacramento Ballet's Peter Pan. But, maybe show up 45 minutes late during intermission and miss the snouza....
