Today was the day. After months of waiting, the day to go to the Lion King was here. Of course, I think I was much more excited than Drake, but I do think it was a special day for him. We started off with brunch downtown at Panzano's with my girlfriend Takane and her daughter, niece, and nephew. It just happened that we had both purchased tickets for the same day - how great! The food was delicious and the kids were very well behaved. D-man loved the huge pancakes (with awesome syrup) and a virgin bellini.
We took a brisk walk over to the theatre and got there early enough to relax and review the scenes in the program and take it all in. I don't think that D-man knew what to expect, but he was well-behaved and focused the entire show. We sang sliently along, held hands, and shared special glances when we spotted something unique or special. When I tucked him in tonight, he asked why the performance went so quickly - why did it seem like it was only 3 minutes? I told him that when you are enjoying something, the time just flies. I certainly hope that was the reason.
I don't know that D-man will remember this perfromance, but I certainly will. He was the perfect date and I look forward to many more special outings to the theatre in the future.
