Our DC Date

Two weekends ago, M and I had a little mother/son date and headed up to DC to see the Nutcracker and watch a dear friend of ours perform. She was wonderful and we were both mesmerized! What a fun time it was!!

When we arrived, M was a little overwhelmed when we learned our seats were in the second row. We quickly backtracked and headed back to the ticket lady, who allowed us to sit anywhere we wanted in the balcony. Perfecto! We had a great vantage point and were able to see J dance with clarity. M was a brave champ through the scariest mouse fight scene--he had been worried about it ahead of time. He proclaimed at the end that his favorite parts were of the "snow" and "when the mouse king was killed". lol. Even more exciting was actually playing in the real white stuff outside the theater!

We finished the fantastic day with dinner with ND friends on the west side. What a treat!! Can't wait to get up there again soon...
