Last weekend I got to go to the Nutcracker ballet with my mom and my MIL. It was so much fun. We went to the matinee, which meant we didn't have to dress up as much, although everyone still looked really nice.

I have wanted to go to this ballet for about 10 years now, but I never thought I'd get to go. I ended up getting to do this as part of my Christmas.

The ballet was beautiful. I've never been to anything like this before. We had pretty good seats, although a few times I wished that I had remembered my binoculars so I could get a close-up. I don't know which part I liked best. I definitely liked the prince and the ballerina dancing in the snow scene, and I also liked the dancers in the sugar plum part.

It was just beautiful, and quite an experience. I hope I get to go again someday. We talked about maybe taking DD in a few years when she is old enough to sit still that long. :-)

I always wonder what it would be like to make a living in entertainment. I think it would be so awesome to be able to dance or sing and make a living off of it. (Of course, I do realize that it is a very difficult, competitive line of work, and probably quite stressful. Those of us who don't have the talent for this sort of thing probably tend to glorify or fantasize a little bit about what it must be like.)

Anyway, it was great fun to escape from reality for a couple of hours to watch the ballet. WELL worth my time and money. :-)
