Jon and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary two weeks ago and for the first time I finally got to see the Nutcracker. It was very beautiful and loved every second of it. Apparently there are two versions of the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center and we saw the one with the little children which was George Balanchine's version. We hope to see the original adult version in 2026. Anyway, it was a crazy, beautiful snowy day in the city. Who knew we'd have snow the day of the show! We all had a grand time including Noah. Yes, he tagged along and we all saw the nutcracker together. But in all honesty, Noah is not really into the ballet, but he thought it was pretty cool nonetheless. Going to the city is always fun and it was a very low-key anniversary date...with our son.

Silent Disco At The Lincoln Center!
For the past four years we have driven past the Lincoln center only to see a lot of New Yorkers at the Lincoln center dancing surrounded by a huge disco ball and flashing lights jamming out to music. I've always wanted to get down to check it out but never have until recently! We had just seen Shakespeare in the park and as we were driving toward the Lincoln tunnel decided to park and get down. So glad we did! We had a blast dancing as if we were 20 again! The music and the energy that every New Yorker had that evening was contagious and rubbed off on us. Including our 15 yr young son. Granted he didn't really care for the tunes but he liked the environment of a disco ball in the middle of Lincoln center. They call it "silent disco." And it's probably a good thing because can you imagine how loud the music would be if it would be if we didn't have headphones. We stayed for about an hour or until it was over and it was the best! We have decided to come again next summer. This was a perfect evening to end our summer nights in NYC. At least until school starts!
