The Greatest Show on Earth



How was your weekend?  We finally made good on our promise to take the girls to the circus.  They have been excited about going for weeks.  In fact, the promise of seeing all those circus acts probably helped them get through January.




A funny little story... when I researched and purchased tickets, the "best available" in the upper deck were going to cost about $224.00.  "No way.  Absolutely not," Skip said.  So I looked again and found seats for $84.00 a mere ten rows higher than the $224.00 option.  We shrugged, paid the $84.00, and hoped that the saying there's-no-such-thing-as-a-bad-seat at the circus proved to be true.

Because,  unless Prince was performing as the ringmaster, we were not paying $224.00 for four tickets.




Our seats were fine.  We could see everything, and we let the girls take binoculars just in case we needed them (we did not).




The acrobats were Lauren's favorite part of the show, whereas Gracie and I preferred the elephants.




Overall, we were impressed with the show.  The duo loved the entire production - from beginning to end - and would definitely want to go back again.
