it's so amazing that now for most holidays & other special occasions we can drive three hours north instead of flying across the country. my mom flew out from north carolina for christmas, so every single garrels & ramsdale was in seattle for christmas celebrations.
mom bought tickets for us to see "the nutcracker" performed by the pacific northwest ballet, with costume + set design by maurice sendak of "where the wild things are". it's been a dream of mine for years to see this particular production, & i was so enthralled. growing up in peru i always wanted to be a ballerina, and since jungle-living isn't particularly conducive to ballet lessons, i would simply clear the floor, draw the drapes, and dance along to an old VHS of barishnikov's 1977 performance (yes, my dad made sure we had the latest technology--a VCR, even in the jungle!). needless to say, any time i have the chance to see this live, i'm taken back to my girlhood dreams.
