mother daughter afternoon
Saturday afternoon Katie and I went to the Les Sylphides. A ballet put on by the upper level classes where Katie and Emily take ballet.
The ballet was held in the Springer Opera House downtown Columbus. It was built in 1871 and was known as the finest theatre house between Washington and New Orleans. Now it is Georgia's Official State Theatre. It really was beautiful. Since the ticket price was the same for every seat Katie and I reserved box seats on the left side, second level closest to the stage. We thought we were so special and fancy to have our own little box with two comfy chairs. After the first intermission though, we moved over to the balcony for another view.
After the performance Katie and I wandered around the beautiful building. Katie couldn't help sitting on all the fancy old couches. Even our drive was fun -- we got to talk about growing up, ear piercing, college... Every time we finished a conversation Katie would say, "What should we talk about now, Mom?" What a sweetie.
We had a great time and loved being able to spend the afternoon all by ourselves... although Katie did mention that "next time we should bring Emily too because she would love it just like me."
