Ballerina!!!

Whoop whoop!!! I'm officially a ballerina now, a payed ballerina!! San Diego Ballet contracted me this year for their season :) I'm soooooo happy!! 17 years of work is finally starting to pay off and it feels/tastes amazing. I'll try and be better about letting y'all know when my shows are. I know we're doing a new ballet this season, it's the story of Don Juan, can't wait for that one :)

Beach :)

Well I took Andrew to the West Coast for the first time on Sunday and he loved it!! I took him to La Jolla Cove and the tide pools first.

Looking out over the ocean

He was very proud that he didn't get wet, till after dinner

We found a nice outcrop to sit on and enjoy the view

After that we went walked some more and found a nice big grassy area and did some pas de deux lifts. By the third lift we had about 15 people watching us, it was pretty funny :) Here some of what we did...

We did just a normal arabesque press lift...

...and then a lift from Swan Lake which requires a lot of trust

And then we did some ballet poses or just random stuff...

classic arabesque

dying swan from Swan Lake

something pretty :)

Assemble' off the rock

being weird

I don't know what this is...a contemporary handstand

After a fun filled day I took him to Ruby's on the Pier. I had never been there but my aunt told me I should take him there, so I did. It was sooooo good!! It's an old style 1950's burger joint and their shakes are AMAZING!!!! Then we had a nice walk along the beach in which we both got a little wet. I told him though if he got too wet I was going to strap him to the roof till he dried off ;) I showed him how to catch sand crabs, he just thought that was weird and we got to see 2 California Grey Whales swimming just off shore...that was cool!!!

Black Forest shake & Orange 50/50 shake...both were really really good!!
