I must tell you..I so enjoy having you visit my email…this is the one and only blog that I look forward to every day…Thanks for making it ssssso BeautiFul…

I had similar experiences – to the High Museum in Downtown Atlanta – to Flower Shows – toting around three very unhappy children – today, the girls and I share similar tastes – thankfully! The boy, well he's learned to notice what the girl likes so that he might treat her to these events – whether he truly enjoys them or not – which I think he just might – the seeds sown when young may not seem to sprout something right away, but they may grow and blossom as they grow older. Your images are very, very romantic – lovely post,
Kathy

Isn't it funny when we look back on our memories that we thought it was a great idea and now…Years later we can say, "No, it wasn't!!"

My parents didn't take us for drives and it was something I really enjoyed (a friends family took me on a family outing). So when I had my boys, I made sure that we would spend the weekend taking day trips.

I hear now from my 22 year old that he had always hated road trips!!! I was shocked!!! He hates when we refer to a trip and we mention something he had done cute or funny.

Who knew?

Enjoy the rest of the week!!!

I haven't taken our 6-year old daughter yet to the Nutcracker, but hope she'll enjoy it some day.
I can totally relate to your initial experience – we had a similar one with my niece. 🙂

I, myself, love the Nutcracker. I think I cry every time I see it! lol
I brought my daughter for the first time last year, she loved it. My son wanted to know why no one spoke or sang. lol

They were about 10 yrs old. I think they enjoyed it, and its a memory for me and them. They still remember going! Thanks for reminding me. Beautiful photos!!

Her first pair were the most special and a rite of passage for every young dancer. I can still here the little tippy-tap of her practicing walking around the house "on pointe!" Thanks for the beautiful photos and triggering those memories! Hugs, Anne
