Last time that Paul and Diann were here, I took them to Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach and they loved it. They had up all of their Christmas displays, so Diann was in heaven. This time all the Christmas stuff was replaced with gorgeous summer flowers and the colors were amazing!
Beautiful blue hydrangeas
Loads of color everywhere you turn
If only the flowers came with a gardener to keep them that gorgeous! ;)
That night was our big suprise for Diann. Ever since Brad's first time going to the Pageant of the Masters, he knew he would have to bring his mom here sometime. It only runs during July and August, so this was the first opportunity we've had. Yeah, I think we nailed it on this one - she LOVED it!
My parents joined us for the adult-only event. Here are the girls enjoying picnic style dining before the main attraction.

Brad was up close and personal with the band, as he ate his dinner leaning against the stage (it was pretty packed and seating was minimal, to say the least!).
Prior to the Pageant we got to walk around and enjoy the amazing artwork on display there. This was one of our favorites - a portrait made of nails that was 3-dimensional. VERY cool!
Even though you can't see it, we're in front of the Pageant of the Masters sign. Stupid lighting!
The whole gang at the end of the night. Such an amazing and unique experience. If you've never heard of it, you have to look it up - soooo cool!
Thanks for taking us. It was great!
