Talk about tradition!
I have been attending The Mountain Play on Mt. Tamalpais in Mill Valley, for 22 years with my family. Three's a charm! My third time seeing Fiddler on the Roof. But, I loved it of course because I LOVE MUSICALS! I can't wait for The Sound of Music to come again. You could not ask for a better setting than this to relax in the sun, laugh, clap and enjoy a yummy picnic. With over 4,000 people gathered together in the most beautiful outdoor Greek theatre nestled into the trees and a view over looking the San Francisco Bay, I often wonder why I do not make it to my favorite mountain more often?

I was around my niece Emma's age when my family began this tradition.
We always eat the most incredible BBQ chicken in the world on a long table in the garden. We were lucky enough to have Kara with us this year and yet again she was making me crack up!! (laugh a ton)
Kara's favorite quote of the day: Karina to her father "You can laugh it's OK". It stills kills me thinking about it. He can be a very serious Norwegian man and she even got him to laugh out loud! No one can resist her contagious laughter. (I should have her laugh come in now;))
