This weekend was DD's 8th birthday, so SSB decided that it was finally time for her to enter SSB's world of "The Opera"! 
The Orando Opera company puts on three productions per year, and the first this year was "The Magic Flute"... a WONDERFUL opera (Mozart's last!) that is very fantasy driven, and quite easy to follow. Decided a perfect "first" opera for us to see.
We headed out about 7PM, and a good thing as SSB got lost, as tried a "new route"... haha! OOPS! Luckily, we brought along supplies of pretzels, tic tacs, and even a few Ritz Bits, in case we got caught in a snow flurry... has been way cold here...
She did very, very well during both acts of the opera, and got so many complitments for her dress, and even for just being there, that she was quite embarassed. Funny for me to see, as she is generally very self confident (where the heck does she get that crazyness.. )
We got back about midnight, her latest night staying up ever, but was still wired from it all. A wonderful Dad and Daughter night, that I hope that we shall always treasure forever. I know that I shall.... for certain.....
(Thanks to Dan, who agreed to add picture to the post, just prior to departure. Still flowers in Orlando!)
