Hamilton Hype

Simone waited patiently for a long time for this moment, and I must say....

It is rare in life to experience something that actually exceeds the hype that surrounds it. BUT, family and friends, we assure you Hamilton does just that!!!

Last Saturday we went to see this award winning musical at the Kennedy Center, and we were blown away.  AMAZING.  It was easily the best show we have ever seen.  Simply a masterpiece.

They were being extremely strict about enforcing the no photography rule inside the theater, but we did try to capture the experience outside.

The single shot I snapped before being swooped upon by 3 ushers yelling "no pictures!"

After the show, we had dinner in DC at none other than.... wait for it.... The Hamilton Restaurant.  

And as if the spectacular musical wasn't enough, we also achieved another rarity in life.  We went three for three on some excellent desserts after a very satisfying meal.

Simone's peanut butter cheesecake.

Mom's carrot cake trifle.

Dad's amaretto bread pudding.  All fantastic!

A really superb way to spend a summer Saturday in the nation's capital.  Thank you Alexander Hamilton (and Lin-Manuel Miranda) for your genius!
