We ended up at the Presidential Box of the Kennedy Center watching the musical the Lion King. I'm not really a big fan of musicals but the show was AMAZING!! The costume and puppets were brilliant and the dancing was impressive. And our seats were better than anything I could have imagined. I can tell I don't have much experience with theater since I kept switching from feeling fashionable and elegant and part of a Russian novel or nervous that I was going to be shot in the back of the head like Lincoln. Oh yeah, and very in love with Aaron who pulled the whole thing off in grand style.
I found a picture of some of the awesome costume puppets. Those giraffes are people. Pretty amazing isn't it? And by the way, the food we ate was much better than what you'd get at a Bingo hall. We passed on the champagne, but Aaron raided the presidential candy bar for Jelly Bellys and M&Ms (the M&Ms are red, white and blue and actually come in a box with the Presidential seal).

What an amazing anniversary experience! Write it down so you remember the night.
What a spectacular surprise! And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, you two. I'm jealous about the r,w&b M&Ms.
Happy Anniversary! I had a costume design class in college, and got to study Julie Taymore who did the Lion King costumes, and they are so cool how they are brought to life with the dancers and how they work so well with the human body to be so animated. Definitely great, well thought out design!
Happy anniversary! What a great surprise. I'm not a musical fan either, but I've heard the Lion King is great. Glad you had a great time! We need to get together now that you are officially in NoVA!
