Symphony Through The Eyes Of A Six Year Old

I took Jacqueline to the symphony on Saturday. We had a real night on the town. She has been bugging me for ages to take her to have sushi, so I took her to Piranhas Killer Sushi in downtown. She got to pick out my suit for the evening as well what dress she was going to wear. We were off to the lights of the big city.

Piranhas was brilliant as always. The signature rolls that they do are absolutely fantastic. She was so well behaved that a gentleman in eating by herself commented about how mature she was in such a setting. He was also astounded by her ability with the chop sticks. After a Volcano Roll, Salmon Roll and Cucumber roll, we were off to get chocolate. No trip to downtown is complete without a stop at the chocolate factory.

Six year olds love grandeur. They are amazed by the ornate. She loves Bass Hall, as do I. But its always much more fun to see it through her eyes. We played "I Spy." She informed me that Bass Hall is a great place for just such a game while we waited for the show to start. She enjoyed the music as well. The violin virtuoso that was in for the evening did a fantastic job with the Bruch violin symphony. At intermission, we snuck the rest of the chocolate we had while standing on the landing beside the Angels. Mendhelson's Scotish Symphony closed the evening. She couldn't stay awake, but it was definitely Daddy's favorite. I love French Horns and they are allowed to shine in this piece. What a great night to be a dad.
