Summer Pops

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t attend my first symphony until well after I was 6 years old. Michaela, on the other hand, got to experience her first symphony last night, at Summer Pops.

The San Diego Symphony each year does a number of concerts at the Embarcadero, a bayfront park downtown. We were lucky enough to be invited to sit in the “Champagne Chalet,” which featured a private bar and dining experience, and comfortable chairs and plush blankets for after the sun went down. Michaela brought a friend and the two of them listened to the selection of patriotic tunes (this being the weekend before the 4th of July and all) while dancing and enjoying some of the free food. The night was capped off by a fireworks display while the Symphony played “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

Happy birthday, America!
