There is a scene in The Family She Never Met where Lara is very excited about an upcoming Easter Egg hunt and a visit to the movie theater to watch The Sound of Music. This scene was loosely based on my family’s own visits to New York City for the Easter Parade and one very special visit where we did go watch The Sound of Music at Radio City Music Hall.
I remember watching the movie which is still a favorite. In fact, if we ever get to go on our much-delayed Danube River Cruise, we plan to take a trip to Salzburg to do a Sound of Music tour!
When I watched the movie, I immediately identified with the Von Trapp family and how they had to escape Austria because it reminded me of how my family escaped Cuba. I did turn to my mom at the end of the movie to say to her that it was just like us, which is in the scene with Lara and her mother as they watch the movie.
Is the Sound of Music one of your favorites? If not, share your favorite movie with me!
This is a photo of me and my family on one of those Easter trips to the city. From left to right, that’s my grandmother, me, my beautiful mom, my sister, and my handsome father. I suspect my brother was the one taking the photo!
