turn off the dark

this morning we walked around the broolyn botanical gardens, which i very much enjoyed.  i'm sure it's much prettier in the spring and early summer, but i loved the japanese gardens.

we hustled up to midtown so craig could attend the conference we were in town for and i went to phantom.  i first saw phantom years ago with my mom, and it was fun to see it again. 

craig took me to dinner at one of his favorite restaurants.  they have one in tokyo and now this one in new york.  it was fun to watch them cook our food and then hand it over to our seats on long paddles.  plus it was amazing and the kobe beef was like nothing else i've ever tasted--which it should be at $30 for six bite-sized pieces of beef.

we saw our last play tonight--spider man, turn off the dark.  it was a high-flying adventure of a musical.  i loved the special effects, even if i didn't love the u2 inspired music.  watching spidey fly through the air over the audience was definitely an experience.
