Lord of the Rings 3: Wolf Trap

A fantastic evening!

View from our table at the restaurant

First a pleasant dinner at Wolf Trap's Ovations

Portobello mushroom and watercress on top of mashed potatoes and eggplant

Then a spectacular performance - the showing of the third film of the LOTR trilogy with a live orchestra and choir. Exceptional!!!
