The Rock-CATS

I took Abby to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Starring The Rockettes today. It was at the Target Center in Minneapolis, so we made an afternoon of it....or rather, we were supposed to. We left in plenty of time to grab some lunch before the show, however, upon entering the parking garage, I was told they only accept cash, and you need to pay upon entry of the garage. Whoever heard of a parking garage not accepting a credit card??? And I don't ever have cash on me, so we were off on a wild goose chase to find a stinking ATM. After a 1/2 hour of driving around downtown Minneapolis (and muttering under my breath), I finally find an ATM and get myself some money. By the time we found our way back to the parking garage (you know I'm not great with directions.....), we had all of 2 minutes to RUN across the skyway to the Target Center and slide into our seats before the lights dimmed. Poor Abby had to wait until AFTER the show for her lunch, which now consisted of 2 cheeseburgers from Mickey D's, in the car, on the way home. In any event, the show really was spectacular, and we had great seats, so we really enjoyed the production.

On our way out, I bought her a Rockettes Christmas tree ornament. In the car, she took the ornament out of the box and asked me how to spell Rockettes. I spelled it out to her slowly....R*O*C*K...and then E*T*T*E*S.....and she says, in her sweet little five year old voice, "Oh! I thought it was Rock-CATS, and I was wondering why it was spelled funny on the ornament". Love her :-)

Below is a picture of us before leaving the house, looking forward to lunch and a show....at least we got the show!
