Elizabeth and I had our day on Sunday. We have season tickets to the Oregon Symphony Kids' Series. This was our first show together. After picking her up we made out way to Portland. Took the wrong exit off the freeway and had to tour a bit to find the place. It has been seven years or so, since the last time I was there. Anyway we managed to find it and get parked. Went for lunch at Oliver's Restaurant which is a basement restaurant across the street. Not overly impressed. Lunch costed $21 plus tip and her burger was rather crispy. Decided next time we would just go to the McDonald's around the corner and eat much cheaper. Then we had some time left to kill so we walked around a few blocks. Played in a park behind the concert hall and looked at this cool church. We enjoyed the concert. The first song was from Harry Potter and Elizabeth recognized it right away. They played six numbers with one of them being "Peter and the Wolf". Each kid got a glow stick to use for the finale. Naturally they almost all had them glowing before the concert ever started. We had a good time and finished off the day with decorating cupcakes for Halloween with the sprinkles from Aunt Heather.
