Ladies' Day Out

So the other day we went to the city to see

The Nutcracker at the New York City Ballet. We went with Thisbe and the Wee Kraken and had a fabulous time (despite the fact that due to the Job we didn't arrive until half-way through the first act, thus totally missing our lunch plans at Rosa Mexicano (boooooooo!)

I think the ladies enjoyed the performance, and I *know* that they enjoyed hanging out and playing by the fountain afterwards!

I've been to the performance before Christmas once before, and this time we hit it up after the holidays-- it was a bit more laid back and it was really nice.

The only downside? We saw a really big rat in the Quik Park parking garage under Lincoln Center on our way back to the car. Up side, it was a very large, healthy looking, clean rat, but a rat nonetheless. Hmpf.
