Created With Aloha: A Fantastic Weekend

It was such a fantastic weekend that I don't want it to end just yet. :) It started off by my hubby and I attending a Hawaiian concert in San Diego where one of our favorite Hawaiian artists performed- Keaili'i Reichel. (For some reason we did not notice that he was performing Friday locally. We have gone to all his concerts in the past 5 years, but for some reason missed the news that he was performing this time. We would have been very disappointed if we were not able to go. Thankfully my SIL and BIL were able to take care of the kids and were able to get front and center tickets. These tickets were even better than what we've had in previous years when we have purchase tickets much earlier. About 20% of the seats in the back were not filled. All the seats are usually filled.) We left for SD as soon as my hubby got home from work. We would have been on time for the concert, but were stuck at a freeway exit for 30 minutes. That was very upsetting. Of course attending the concert helped us relax. Here are a few pictures of Mr. Reichel.

The concert was awesome as usual with him and his backup singers and mini orchestra. As usual he had his award winning hula dancers perform. This time he also had a question and answer time where the audience got to ask him questions. This made this concert a lot more personable.
Before the concert we grabbed a bit from Sansei

and afterwards we grabbed another bite from Uma Sushi. Yes, we were very hungry for Japanese food on Friday.

On Saturday I attended a class and then had some friends over for dinner. We ordered Hawaiian food for dinner and our friends brought over some dessert.

They also surprised us with two Vinylmation Mickey collectible figures from Disneyland to add to my collection.

Today my family and I went to church and ended our weekend by going to a Beauty and the Beast Sing Along at the Al Capitan Theater in Hollywood.

We had VIP tickets so had very good seats. We also each enjoyed a drink and a pucket of popcorn. At the beginning of the movie, Belle did a little performance. Kylie was extra happy to her. When Belle came out she said "wow."

All of us enjoyed the movie. It was extra special for my hubby and I to watch "Beauty and the Beast" again because the first time we saw it in the theaters was when we had our first date. Zach had a good time laughing at different humorous parts of the movie. After the movie we went shopping at the Minnie and Mickey Soda Fountain Disney store. The store had an area where you can order food and eat as well as a store with Disney items.
