The Voice of East Bay Living

A wonderful holiday event for children is the Mary Poppins musical currently playing at the historic Julia Morgan Theater in Berkeley. Originally built as a church in 1908, it was built for two dollars a square foot, using natural redwood paneling , which was at that time, affordable and abundant. On the interior, the beams, nuts and bolts were left exposed as part of the design. The Mary Poppins cast does a great job presenting this Tony Award winning musical to its delighted audiences of all ages.  The performances will continue thru December 7th, 2014.

Did you know that the new    Exploratorium  in San Francisco is considered the most important science museum since the mid-twentieth century? It is described as a scientific fun house and an experimental laboratory rolled into one. At a recent visit with three young girls - ages six, ten and twelve - they were fascinated with the dissection  and lecture of a cow's eye. Yes, a real cow's eye.  I chose to check my emails on my iPhone at this point. They loved every minute, including the very hip Seaglass restaurant located on the first floor of the museum with stunning  views of the bay and multi-cultural menu served cafeteria style. It is worth a visit for all age groups.  Visit  GlassSabine.com Contact Team Glass Sabine at ssabine@grubbco.com
