Wanting to connect and knowing my schedule was beyond crazy, Julie took the day off work and we rendezvoused in Oceanside for an early birthday celebration for her.
Parlor Doughnuts followed by the Farmers' Market started our morning perfectly.
The true pearl in the oyster in Oceanside is its Museum of Art.
We had limited time so we spent most of it viewing the newest exhibit More Disruption: Representational Art in Flux (June 8-September 15).This exhibition explores representational art that has been reshaped and “disrupted”—including by abstraction, web-based imagery, and socio-political concerns—in response to contemporary life and its challenges.Faced with an overflow of images, today’s artists are challenged to find the combination of subjects and individual hybrid styles that best express what it feels to be alive now. Responding to life’s disruptions engages their artistic imagination and the resulting works energize the flux of contemporary representational art.%20(Medium).jpg)

After lunch together, Julie and I said our goodbyes and I went home for a nap before the grand finale of my fantastic day!
Our summer feels like a success if we can get to Moonlight Amphitheatre for at least one of its productions. The stars aligned for us to join the 'gang' for School of Rock: The Musical.What fun that Brady and her mini-me where there, too.This is our normal viewing crew. Nic (far left) was there in David's place as he just received a new hip and was very missed.School of Rock is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning smash musical based on the hit 2003 film. For those unaware, the fun plot stars Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who is down on his luck. After Dewey is kicked out of his band, and threatened with eviction, his fortunes take a turn for the better when he intercepts a phone call meant for his roommate, Ned Schneebly. He quickly decides to make a bit of cash and pose as Ned to accept a substitute teaching post at Horace Green, a prestigious prep school. He is horrified to discover that his strait-laced and straight-A students haven’t a clue about Rock & Roll, and he makes it his mission to educate them.
Dewey realizes they are a talented bunch and he decides to mold them into a rock band and enter the upcoming Battle of the Bands competition. However, he needs to do all of this away from the prying eyes of the school’s principal, Rosalie Mullins. Along the way, Dewey finds romance, self-worth, a proper job, and, most importantly, he teaches the children and their parents the beauty of rock!
While the plot took a little while to truly rev up, once it kicked in, we were dancing in our seats. The cast was absolutely incredible. The star student actors are destined for greatness. If this was to be our only Moonlight soiree, we chose well. This was just one of those days! You might even say it ROCKED!
