Music City at last!

In Charlotte for an hour

Pics En Route

As much as I like the Hipstamatic effect, I may have to take some with the regular camera app.

En Route

I paid for in flight Internet to keep up with NFL (and fantasy football) scores, and they include a tracking website! btw - our departure time is bs. We may have pushed back from the gate at 1:12, but we sat on the runway for half an hour, stupid airlines padding their stats!

All packed

New rollie and my laptop bag packed for the trip to Nashville (more pics to come)

Friday Night on the Town

I bought Stef tickets to the theater as a birthday present and we decided to grab dinner at Le Colonial before the show. From the OpenTable description: "Excellent Vietnamese cuisine served in a romantic French setting reminiscent of days gone by. Le Colonial evokes the tropical elegance of Vietnam in the 1920's." and it actually lived up to the billing! Delicious meal in a truly elegant setting, I really felt like I was back at the Elephant Bar in Le Grand Angkor, Siem Reap, right down to the drop of sweat on my brow from the unseasonable warmth (and the uphill walk to the restaurant!).

The play we saw was Richard III starring Kevin Spacey in the eponymous role. The costumes were modern but the dialogue was all Shakespeare, which made the captivating nature of this adaptation all the more impressive. We both really enjoyed the play and thought the entire cast was stellar, but Kevin Spacey in particular stole the show.

All-in-all a great date night!

Sunset in the City

I never get tired of it, though I'm not sure my pics do it justice.
