Today was the day for my date with Clara!! I noticed several weeks ago that Joshua Bell would be playing with the Indianapolis Symphony this weekend, and since she's out of school already, the Thursday morning concert was completely feasible for us! We decided to forego the coffee and pastries offered at the symphony and we went out to breakfast first. 3 Sisters was fabulous (as we expected!)
It was such a beautiful morning, we decided to sit out on the porch.
My "Florentine"...eggs with tomato, spinach, basil, and cheese
Clara's "Bob" with the hash brown combination of regular and sweet potatoes. We took these pictures to send to Matt as he was really jealous interested in what we were eating.
Then we headed downtown...
At Hilbert Circle Theater getting ready for the concert to start. First piece was, well, interesting. (It was actually very cool. It just required thinking outside the box a bit.) We were really there to hear the other piece...the Brahms Violin Concerto with soloist Joshua Bell (this concerto, I might add, contains a very lovely oboe solo in the 2nd movement. I remember traveling with my mom to Cleveland once to hear Scott play that solo.)
We hadn't planned to get an autograph, but when she bought her CD the man asked if she'd like it opened so she could get it signed. Well, of course she did!! :o)
