IRIS

My parents spoiled us with another weekend getaway to Hollywood. They flew down for a quick trip and we all stayed at the Renaissance Hotel adjacent to the Kodak Theater. The Hollywood sign at the top of the mountain and the view from our room!

We spent a little bit of time walking along Hollywood and Highland, seeing Grauman's Theater

and looking for stars we haven't seen before.



We satisfied our sweet tooth with delicious treats at the Nestle Toll House shop and ate dinner at CPK before heading back to the hotel to get ready the highlight of the day...

IRIS is the newest production to be released by Cirque De Soleil and is playing at the Kodak Theater.


It takes the audience on a journey through the world of cinema.

We were even lucky enough to spot one of the main characters walking through the lobby before the show started.

Photography wasn't allowed in the theater, but we snuck in one picture of the gorgeous stage. The show was amazing from start to finish...spectacular costumes, breathtaking acrobatics, powerful music and an incredibly talented cast and crew. Some of the stunts had us covering our eyes in fear for the safety of the performers and other moments had us laughing out loud. Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful day!
