Well I've certainly had a full Thanksgiving weekend that's for sure!! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful time with your family...I spent Thanksgiving day with Mommy and the weekend with my dancing family so it was good all around ;) There's no through flight from San Diego to Billings, MT so we had to make a pit stop in Denver to kill time before making our connecting flight. Our plane got in to Denver later then we thought and our gate for the next flight was at the other end of the terminal (if anyone's been to the Denver airport you know what I mean, that airport is HUGE!!). So about 20 dancers were sprinting through the airport trying to get to our next flight before they started to board...and we made it!! We arrived in Billings and went to the hotel then to the theater for 2 run throughs with the local kids and orchestra. Everyone was a smidge bit crabby after 2 flights and dancing till 10pm so we went and got food at the Montana Brewing Company...their Southern Mac & Cheese is to die for by the way ;) Saturday we had dress rehearsal in the morning and a show that night. The show went well but I did end up whacking my Arabian partner in the face with my bun...he wasn't to thrilled about that, sorry Tim!! Sunday we had a matinee show and then all the dancers go out to eat and drink to celebrate after the last show, it's tradition. There are 3 minors in the company this year so after dinner we headed back to the hotel and got a good nights sleep while the other got back at around 4am looking horrid and walking a little lopsided. Our flight home on Monday left at 2:30pm and we got into San Diego at around 8pm...I used the dudes I was sitting with as pillows both on the way out and on the way back ;) All in all we had fun and enjoyed each others company. Can't wait for next year to do it again!!! Here are some pics of the trip :)

Yay! glad it was good trip. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you got snow! lucky. I suppose I should say "blessed". hehehe.
That's such a cool pic from out of the window!! on first glance, it looks like you're looking at earth from space(minus the plane wing)...at least that's what it looked like to me :/ must be the blue and white mixed together ;)
The dude's facial expression when he got the beer sampler is quite appropriate. heheh.
And yay for naps and...lots of muscle??
Thanks for posting!!
Neat pictures!
