I purchased the tickets for The Nutcracker online directly from the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs, but not without some hassle. Luckily, I selected the "email my tickets" option because when I opened them, they were for the wrong date and wrong performance. After several phone calls back and forth, it got straightened out - although I asked to be sent a confirmation number and never received it . . .
Colorado Springs is loaded with many fine restaurants, and after doing some research, I made a list of some I thought would be fun and different for all of us. OPB&J's offers a great twist on that old traditional favorite - peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Extensive choices - including some exotic yummy flavors as ginger peanut butter and Thai jelly - let you build your own from the bread on up. Thought this would be fun for all of us - including our 6 year old.
NOSH is a tapas restaurant I'd like to try. Sarah tells me Josh takes his clients there a lot (which inspired me to write an appropriate limerick - see below), but she prefers SHUGAS - apparently more bang for the buck.
And of course, we'll plan a dinner at the Broadmoor.
We've also planned to visit the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center - http://www.wolfeducation.org/ - for their "Full Moon Tour" on the 26th. (Interesting factoid - there hasn't been a recorded sighting of a wolf in the wild in Colorado since the 1940s - yet we had a sighting right here in NY recently.) Unfortunately, kids under 8 aren't allowed at the Center.
Today's mission is to wrap and box up Sammi's birthday presents to send ahead. . .
And now for the limerick -
There once was a salesman named Josh
Who lunched with his clients at Nosh
Though the portions were small
And they gobbled it all
Josh sealed all the deals there, by gosh.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Stay tuned!
