DIRTY DANCING WITH AUNT BETH

Well, to clarify...we didn't dirty DANCE with Aunt Beth...we went to SEE Dirty Dancing with Aunt Beth. Just wanted to clear that up! Anyway.... last year on our 10th Anniversary we went to New York to see a Broadway show, this year on our 11th, we went to CHICAGO! Ok, that is a much bigger deal when you live 5 hours away than when it was under an hour!



We haven't seen Aunt Beth or Eric for a long time...so it was time for a little celebration when we got there. No minors were injured during the celebration & had to hand back their glasses after a little sip.



Morning of the show...the race to get ready, thank goodness Aunt Beths bathroom was big enough to handle us all!



Finally, we are all dolled up & ready to go.



Lunch at Harry Carey's...HOLY COW! & YES..it really is HOLY!



Walking through Chicago, past the river to get to the theater.



Pink champagne at the Cadillac Palace.



Waiting for the show to start.





Back home with our loot. I didn't know until we got there, that Madi had NEVER seen the movie! So we had to get that for her souvenier.



Time to leave...instead of helping pack, Morgan has to pose for one last picture!
The play was awesome! The dancing, the costumes, the backdrops...were all amazing!! Much better than I thought they would be! The food, from Harry Carey's, Alfies, Suzettes quiches were delicious! The time & conversations we had with Aunt Beth & Eric...PRICELESS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH...IT WAS ANOTHER AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

I'm a tad bit jealous about ALL OF THIS!!! Sounds like you guys had a great time. I love dressing up...and Chicago...and Harry Cary's...and plays...and pink champagne. Next time, I'm tagging along! You have room for one more right? I can sit on your lap if I have to.
(p.s.) you all look fabulous!!

I am a total Dirty Dancing fan, of course many don't know this, but if it's on TV and none of the boys are around to gag and make fun of me I watch it! Jealous, that's what I am, it sounds like you all had a great time and Su is right, you all look fabulous!
