Last year, we went on our first real vacation without kids to Florida. While we were there, Grant took me to swim with Dolphins, which was a dream of mine.
This year, he missed my 30th birthday (in Sept.) because he was chosen by his company to go to a conference in Chicago. I was really sad but he made up for it by taking me to see "Phantom of the Opera" in Seattle. That has always been a dream of mine!! Like Florida, I never would've done this without the encouragement of my wonderful husband or at least not this soon. I was really nervous to leave a breastfeeding baby that long. However, we left our 5 girls with my amazing Mom and Dad (with some frozen breastmilk) and they all did fabulous, including Aurora!! We went with some of our friends, Brady and Tracy. They chose a fun restaurant up in Seattle, "Bahama Breeze." It was yummy! Then we went to Phantom. It was incredible!! Christine, Raoul, and Phantom were absolutely amazing! They had wonderful voices. All the special effects and tricks were really cool! (I hear they are even better in New York and other places where they are based, not touring.) I had a great time at Phantom and look forward to seeing more Broadway plays. My next dream is to see "Les Miserables." :)
Of course, I could not take pictures during the play but I took some in the theatre, before and after the show.

I'm so glad you got to fulfill some of your dreams! I'm also glad Aurora did so well with her mama gone-- that's really hard for a lot of breastfed babies. What a relief!
That is so great that you got to go and do that. Nice that your little one did great without you. Had she had a bottle before? If so did she take to it right away? I need to start introducing the bottle to Kiana or I am doomed for another 9 months!! But do I really have time to pump...
How fun. I'm glad that you had a great time, Ryan and I always talk about going some day!
I love that play too. I'm glad you were able to experience it.
How cute you two look! Glad it turned out so well!
That sounds like a very fun date/birthday celebration. I was bumed to hear about Phantom in Seattle after it was done playing there. I really like Bahama Breeze too!
So since we are poor, starving students (and still waiting on Phil's financial aid) we never got to see Phantom, but one of the cast members did show up to our ward one day. He was part of the ensemble and Raoul's understudy. He was very nice, just thought I'd share, glad you had fun.
