Katie and I discovered a whole different side of London on Thursday. The nightlife! We were very excited about our dinner and theater outing to the Spaghetti House restaurant and to see the musical production of Dreamboats and Petticoats.
We started off the day having lunch with the guys at The Slug. It was very good and they even paid. Thanks again boys! You really know how to spoil us. After lunch we headed back to get ready for our fun night on the town. However, once we got going, the adventure really began...
Katie and I are not so good with directions. When it comes to maps and roads here in London, it gets a little chaotic if we don't have it written down before we leave. We left with plenty of time (or so we thought), but it was our first time dealing with the 5 o'clock traffic. If you're claustrophobic, don't take the subway. At one point we were getting ready to board, and Katie got a bit overwhelmed and stepped out of the crowd. We waited for the next train.
By the time we reached our destination, we ran by the National Gallery twice before finding the restaurant. We were only a few minutes late, but they didn't mind. We enjoyed our meal and were ready for the show. Now, we just have to find the theater...I realized I left my gloves at the restaurant, but it was on our way after getting lost so we picked them up once we started going in the right direction.
Wrong again. We ended up getting a little more exercise running by the National Gallery. Twice. But we finally found it. Thirteen minutes late, but we'd been bumped up to better seats, so I think it all worked in our favor. We enjoyed the show along with a crowd of senior citizens (the story was set in the 1950's). It was so great to see all the hipsters get up and start dancing during the encore songs. Fortunately, nobody broke anything.
It was a night to remember. Even though we got lost a few times, we realized it was the blonde leading the blonde, but we still had lots of fun!
