Cirque du Soleil's "Ovo"

The show, "Ovo" came to the bay area a few months ago and my mom and I made it to the last show before they left the area. I went to a the show, "Quidam" 13 years ago with my good friend and her family and absolutely loved it! I've been wanting to see another show for years. My mom has never seen a show, so we made it a day for just the two of us.

The show "Ovo" was a lot different than "Quidam" but very good. I'm always so amazed at the talent, dedication and strength of the performers. Simply beautiful and amazing. The next mother-daughter outing will be the play, "Wicked" in San Francisco next month.

Mother's Day at Tommy T's

I surprised my mom with a afternoon at Tommy T's Comedy Club in Pleasanton for Mother's Day. There were two comedians, the headliner was "Mrs. Hughes"! When I got a member e-mail about the appearance, I had to book some seats. How could I not take my mom to a comedy show on Mother's Day when the headliner had the same last name as my mom? :-) She was rather funny and her comedy was perfect for my mom, they are both grandmother's and have been married for a long time, every joke hit home for my mom!

The opener was a little raunchy for an afternoon show with younger kids in the audience, but he was pretty funny and my mom enjoyed it too.
