Ending Vacation with a Celtic bang

Today was my last day of vacation; Chris joined me to see Celtic Woman at the Rose Garden.  It was easily the best performance I have ever seen.  This wasn’t just a concert, but a highly choreographed, upbeat, engaging performance.  I’ve never seen performers have so much fun and look so engaged.  They never stopped smiling.  The ladies also have voices like angels and I can’t wait to go see them in concert again. 

Máeréid, their violinist, is probably the most awe-inspiring - she doesn’t sing, but she does some amazing dancing while playing violin beautifully around the stage; incredible talent. 

The singers: there are no words.

The whole event was inspiring.

I had a fantastic, relaxing vacation.  We did have to take the dogs to the e-vet after discovering a chewed up bottle and some un-eaten pills; thankfully it looks as though they didn’t ingest anything.  This was Monday evening.  That kind of blew my interest in driving to the coast Tuesday so we had a nice, relaxing day instead.  We saw The Switch in the theatres which was every bit as sappy as I wanted.  I thought it was excellent.  I do wish we’d made it to the coast: Saturday maybe.  But I just was not up for it yesterday and today we have the concert in the evening.

The dogs did great tonight; they had daycare all day and it looks like they slept while we were entertained.  Mali is in fine spirits, of course.  Tomorrow is an early morning, and back to work bright and early.
