Roman Holiday on PCH
Okay, so. Lots of blogging to catch up on:
For instance, I just have to share with you a wonderful evening we enjoyed recently.
We attended a screening of Roman Holiday -- at the Huntington Beach Pier. Yep, on the corner of PCH and Main Street, Huntington Beach, CA. (You did read that right.)
It was part of a wonderful event (hosted by TripAdvisor.com) which involved the very cool idea of installing an inflatable movie screen under the stars to watch the classic film Roman Holiday, outdoors. Brilliant.
I believe it was all part of a TripAdvisor.com-concept to drum up interest in a contest to win a trip to Rome which, I have to say, sure worked for us. (Oh, please pull our names out of your hat!)
Anyhow, the entire evening was everything you would want it to be and more.
Stars, ocean breezes, yummy food from Savannah and best of all sharing a classic black and white film staring the one and only Audrey and Gregory with my girls for the very first time.
So, how cool is that? Very.
In fact, it was so wonderful I had a little maternal epiphany. It unexpectedly crystallized something important.
In the future, as my lovely daughters careen through life, if ever stumped for advice, (and they can't find me. ) they need only ask themselves, "What Would Audrey Do?"
W.W.A.D? Seriously. Girls, print that on a T-shirt and don't forget to read it. When in doubt, ask Audrey.
Because, the truth is, I cannot imagine Audrey Hepburn giving bad advice to anyone, ever.
When you consider the body of her work, both in film as well with UNICEF, she adds up to one of the most beautiful, elegant and extraordinary women to grace our planet.
Audrey Hepburn is a role model that I, as a mom, whole-hearted approve of.
In any event, an "elegant" time was had by all.
Below are a few snaps from our beach soiree and screening.
My girls at Savannah. (No, the chardonnay belong to me.)
The gracious (also very elegant) Beth Laski and yours truly. (Louise) Who can't seem to ask herself often enough "So, W.W.A.D?")
