On Friday the 1st order of business for the day was to get fitted for some Maui Jim sunglasses, courtesy of GSK. This was so much fun. Shane got some sleek shades and I got some funky ones. After picking out our shades we went to hang out at the pool. The resort had 2 pools, a very large pool for all ages and a smaller, hip adult pool. Bet you can guess the pool we hung out at! They played cool music, had nice lounge chairs and cabanas at the adult pool. It was very Vegas! We spent a few hours catching rays and then headed in to get ready for the show. Shane and I drove up to Hollywood for the evening.
The night began with dinner at Providence LA located off Melrose Ave. For starters they brought us a trio of small bites including a white jumbo prawn, pastry puff with smoked salmon and creme fraiche, and a chilled carrot puree soup with passion fruit flavoring and seaweed foccacia bread. Next, we ordered the Dungeness Crab & salt roasted Santa Barbara spot prawns. The production for the prawns was rather impressive! The take live prawns, salt roast them and serve tableside. Our entrees included the striped sea bass and John Dory (a verrrry yummy fish). Delicious meal!!!
After our amazing dinner at Providence we headed over to the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood to watch
Shrek the Musical. The theatre opened in 1930, the decor is very art deco...definitely old Hollywood! We had fantastic seats on the 3rd row to the right of the stage on the end, almost center stage. Once the show began I was smiling, ear to ear THE WHOLE TIME!! Oh my wow, it was sooo magical! The actors were spot on with their depictions of the characters! What a fantastic night!
