I'm starting off this year at full speed. I'm not even one week in, and here I am, blogging once per week (Writing #3), I've already ran this week (Running #2), and I've already accomplished Culture #6: Attend a Musical Event.
I actually didn't think I'd get this one accomplished until summer which is also known as "festival season" in Chicago, but on my birthday, my mother and sister and I went to see The Nutcracker. Even though this is a ballet, not a musical, music is so integral to the production that I'm counting it as a musical event.
This is one of my favorite holiday events, and I was so excited to share it with my mom and sister. Amazingly, this was the first time Mom had ever seen it, so I was happy to be a part of that for her.
The Chicago Joffrey Ballet dance company is one of the best, and their holiday performance is one of their best, so it was an all-around great experience.
For my Chicago friends, it's playing through Dec. 28th, so you still have time to get your tickets!!
