We had a delicious meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory when we were in Washington state.

Inside the restaurant and they have seating inside it.
So good!
Maj loves the meat!
I’d never had this appetizer before and can’t remember the name of it. I’ll order it again, we both really liked it.
Tasty soup

Dinner at haunted saloon

We couldn’t visit Seattle without going to our favorite haunted saloon in downtown Snohomish.

The haunted doll is still sitting high on a shelf.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

And we don’t know when we’ll be back again. We really have no return tickets.

This is us taking off from Indy.

We are flying Alaska Air because it is a direct flight and we belong to their flight program. It’s hard for us to do transfers in our old age.

And a little help for our 4 hour flight.

Of course we brought our own snacks too.

Gotta love Keeblers snacks!

We are on the plane as I’m writing but can’t publish till we land. Unless, I can figure out how to get my free T-mobile service.

I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun posts coming up!

Legally Blonde The Musical now playing at Beef & Boards

/ Roadtirementvintage / 2 Comments

Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre brings “blonde” to the stage this summer with Legally Blonde The Musical. Based on the hit MGM movie, Legally Blonde was nominated for seven Tony Awards and 10 Drama Desk awards, and gives fans all the fun from the film in this energetic musical.

Sorority president Elle Woods is shocked when instead of proposing, her boyfriend dumps her and states he is off the Harvard Law School. Elle won’t give up, and she soon finds herself enrolled in Harvard Law as well. Then the fun begins.

This dynamic and vibrant production is filled with exciting characters. Local talent Olivia Broadwater, a graduate of Ball State University and Zionsville Community High School, makes her Beef & Boards debut as Elle Woods, who snaps stereotypes as she sets out to prove herself to the world. Griffin Cole also makes his Beef & Boards debut as Warner Huntington III, who she follows to Harvard after being dumped by him.

Starring as the friends she meets along the way are Jacob Butler as Emmett Forrest, Logan Moore as Kyle the UPS guy,  Jaddy Ciucci as Enid Hoopes, Logan Hill as Serena, Maya Mays as Margo, and Holly Wilder as Kate.

B&B favorites Deb Wims plays Fitness Queen Brook Wyndham, and Jeff Stockberger stars as the successful, but pompus and manipulative, Professor Callahan. And also featured are two wonderful canines, Daisy the toy poodle and Pugsley, a 10 year old English bulldog.

The action of music, song and dance is nearly non stop during both Act I and Act II. The story line of the girl who follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School develops both in plot and character development. The choreography is exciting and very well executed.

The production we attended was a complete sell out. A staff member told us that tickets are selling fast for all shows. Avoid disappointment, don’t wait to order your tickets. Legally Blonde The Musical is on stage through Aug. 25. The complete performance schedule is on  Beef & Boards Website. Tickets are also available by calling the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Box Office at 317.872.9664.
