It was in the beautiful Carpenter Center...we were full of excitement as we walked (well, ran in the pouring rain) up to the theater... seeing the marquis lights, the heavy ornate doors, that crazy colored carpet, the many, many stairs to our seats high in the balcony, the red velvet cushions on the seats, the stars twinkling in the ceiling, the orchestra tuning up, and then hearing those familiar notes by Tchaikovsky.
It was everything we hoped for...I had even bought her a small nutcracker from Kohl's so she could remember the first time she saw the ballet. She was so thankful for the wonderful day, too, which was a nice surprise for me. She also said the sweetest thing..."I wish I was watching you dance, Mommy."

That's lovely, you and your daughter having a special day away from the men folk. It's nice not to be outnumbered all the time!
