The Hubby and I are feeling very culturally satisfied this evening. We've had quite the weekend, filled with some wonderful theatrical experiences.
Last night Hubs and I went to the opera. He got some tickets from work. It was my first opera. While I was not all that excited to see it, I was intrigued - and in the end pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it was. It was everything I thought it would be - dramatic, emotional, moving, captivating. Being a closet opera singer myself :) - I am not sure why I wasn't excited to attend one. I just wasn't feeling very opera-ish. But it was a great evening. And the venue was also so nice. During the two intermissions, we were able to go to this very large outside terrace area to enjoy the beautiful night and the skyline of our city.
This morning Hubby woke up early for a race. He signed up for a 10 mile race, his first in awhile. I enjoyed being on the spectator side today. The girls were great cheerleaders and gave him motivation to hit a very well respected time - considering he didn't train much....and he'd say that too.
This afternoon, we all went to see the Broadway tour of Mary Poppins. Thanks to grandpa and grandma for the Christmas gift we got to enjoy this afternoon. It was extremely well done. The production itself was amazing. The only thing a bit rough was it was long. The show began at 1:00, and we left about 3:45 - a long show for a four and six year old. But they did enjoy it - despite their many wiggles during the show.
And last but not least, today is our Sydney's half birthday - 6 1/2!! A musical show could have been enough to celebrate the occasion - but we made it a little better with some ice cream (the 1/2 birthday girl's choice).
So, I'm not sure how we top this weekend - because it was a good one! Happy weekend!
