My morning in Rainbow...Our evening in Moonlight!

My morning began by meeting Brady in the darling 16 square mile town of Rainbow.  The area, previously known as "Vallecitos", (little valley), was renamed "Rainbow" in the late 1880s, after Mr. J.P.M. Rainbow, who bought a homestead there.
The Rainbow Oaks Restaurant, originally built in the 1950s, is now new and greatly improved.  Definitely a worthy meeting point.
The potato skins filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese and onions were absolutely delicious.  The service was excellent and the decor- cozy.
We ended our week long So Cal visit at Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre for an evening with friends, under an idyllic full moon.  We arrived early to dine al fresco together.
The great eight:  Mark & Carol, Mike & Julie (our daughter-in-law's parents) and Karen & David.  A group with interconnections that is still mind boggling to me!  An ideal gathering.
Sweeney Todd was a truly unique experience.  Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking musical experience is laced with brilliant wit and dark humor. Centering on Sweeney Todd’s return to London after fifteen years of false imprisonment, the musical boldly displays his quest for justice and retribution. Aided and abetted by the pie-shop owner, Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney sets out to avenge the wrong doings done to him and his family. Set in the 19th century, it is regarded as Sondheim’s most beautiful and ingeniously crafted score.
I don't think we all agreed on the wonderfulness of the subject matter (human meat pies) but we did agree that the cast was exceptionally talented.  The staging was amazing.  And being together, on a warm fall night made for an unforgettable event!
