Singing the National Anthem at last

Last Saturday, we took the children and grandparents to the circus. It was the circus Vargas, a Californian circus. To my joy, they started the show by singing the Star Spangled Banner. Yes, at last I got to sing it! I did feel a little robbed from the joy of singing the words at the naturalization ceremony....now I'm happy:)

We had a great time. It was so precious to see the expressions on Ben and Eva's faces...surprise, amazement, pure joy and worry too. All the children were invited, before the show, to go in the ring and practice juggling with scarfs and balancing a long peacock feather on their fingers or noses.

We finished the evening with a date. Bill and I got to go to the Gaslamp district downtown and eat at my favorite restaurant "Sevilla". We had some tapas, sangria and dreamed about our future travels in Europe...
