Too much fun!

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to see the Nutcracker in Seattle this year. I hear about it every year, and we decided to go this season! I've been so excited! We figured out what weekend we'd have Aurora, and then we bought 5 tickets... people call it the nose bleed section, but for $52 per person, I don't know how they can call it that!!

Jeromy actually picked up Aurora last night. Here she is with her daddy this morning, getting ready to go to The Nutcracker at McCaw Hall...

Another one cause they are just so dang CUTE...And then one with me and my daughter... thank HEAVEN for little girls...

We got to the ferry with a few minutes to spare, so we stopped at Starbucks for coffee and hot chocolate...

Here's Jeromy and 'Ro, chillin' on the ferry...

Then the same cute 2 walking into Seattle... ya, I know I take alot of pictures, but I'm surrounded by cuteness, I'm sure you understand!!I'd have to say we made great time, all around today. We made it 10 minutes to spare to the ferry. We got to Seattle with over an hour until the show started... which was great cause when we map quested the directions to McCaw hall, they were WRONG!! We went 180 in the WRONG direction! I am SOO thankful that it didn't rain, cause I did NOT want to pay for a taxi! Needless to say, we walked a few miles, and we NEEDED that spare hour. We got to the location with another 10 minutes to spare till it started. But we made it. Here's a picture of us looking like lost little sheep... (did I mention that I had already done 2.5 miles on the treadmill this morning?!?!)Another picture where it APPEARS like we're wondering aimlessly...But we made it, even though we were 5 stories up, we were in the center seating area, and it was like Safeco field, there just isn't a bad seat in the house, it was AWESOME!!!I took some pictures of the stage but my camera DID NOT do it justice, it was so huge that there wasn't enough light to show up. It was so impressive though!!

Looking over the edge on the other side of the theater, you can kinda see how far up we were...

During the intermission Jeromy and I got a quick picture...After the show there were a ton of figures to get your picture taken next to. Here's the kids next to the nutcracker...Now we were all HUNGRY!! We started walking back towards to ferry....We stopped at Red Robin along the Seattle water front (Red Robin is Aurora's favorite)I shouldn't have done it.... but I did... (did I mention I ran 2.5 miles LOL)When we were done, we only had to wait 20 minutes to catch the next ferry, but we were TIREDRiding the ferry back, we ran into my half brother Jacob again! I asked him if he wanted to sit by us, and he did. We wrote back and forth the whole time (he's deaf, so we communicate by writing back and forth)... I wanted to get a picture of him, but he's so fuuny, he wrote that I already got a picture last time. Lame, but I didn't want to push it! But it was good to see him again.

Anyway, that's the end of our adventure. We are all full, tired, and ready for bed... after watching a little "Barn Yard" the movie. Good night!!
