Intrepid Lion King Tut.

7-8-10 SHORT HILLS: Yesterday we took the boys to the production of “The Lion King” running in an enormous Broadway theater. I, expecting to be bored, loved it. The animal costumes and representations are brilliant, the sets colorful and inventive and the music vibrant. The plot, well, it is a cartoon. I suppose that everyone who might read this post has already seen it.

The under twenty-one set loved it also. After the show we did a bit of Times Square, in the oppressive heat, visited the M&M store, and had dinner at an NYC deli.

Today we visited the aircraft carrier “Intrepid” at a west side pier in the morning. The boys love everything to do with war and weapons. We saw the ship, the planes, a submarine and an SST. They did some kind of flight simulator movie. We finished in time to make the 2PM display of artifacts from King Tut’s tomb back in Times Sq. at the Discovery Center. We got out of both Gift/Souvenir Shops nearly unscathed.

New blooms: St Johns Wort.


St. Johns Wort. These two shrubs nearly died but may did put out a few flowers and may survive.

Judy after I told her that the boys would be gone in less than three days.
