Christmas at the Concert Hall
We got dressed up last week to take in a little Christmas in Washington, theatre-style. On Sunday night we went to see "The Nutcracker" at the Warner Theatre downtown (Jason's first ballet experience!). The Washington Ballet Company put a twist on the seasonal favorite by turning the characters into familiar figures from American history--the Nutcracker was George Washington, the Rat King was George III, and the dances included wilderness men and Anacostia Indians. It was a fun twist and we both had a great time.
On our way home we drove past the White House and decided to stop by to see the tree. There were lots of little toy trains running around the tree, and we traipsed (dress shoes and all!) around the Ellipse checking out all the state decorations and the manger scene.
The next day we threw on our fancy clothes again and headed to the Kennedy Center. The Choral Arts Society of Washington, in which one of Jason's colleagues sings, was doing it's annual Christmas concert. We went for the first time last year and really enjoyed it, so this year we made a repeat appearance. For me, it is still a little close to Crusader Choir memories... (or is that 'Sader Choir now?)
Okay, that's enough of pictures of Missy and Jason for now...
