Date night with Cirque Dreams 


Misty & Matt at Cirque Dreams

Misty and I enjoyed a rare treat of an evening out without the girls last night as we attended the opening production of Cirque Dreams: Jungle Fantasy at the BJCC.

While it wasn't quite on par with Cirque du Soleil's shows, we had a great time and were in awe of the performance. You can read my full review in my blog on al.com.

Afterward, we spent a few minutes outside the theatre chatting with our friends Nick and Regina who had joined us for the show. As new parents, they too seemed to be relishing the opportunity to be out of the house for a few hours.

As we were about to leave, a guy introduced himself to me who had recognized me from my Twitter updates (which you should follow if you want more frequent updates than I post here). That was weird, but pretty cool, too.

All the way home, Misty sang her own silly, improvised versions of the cheesy songs from Cirque Dreams. She made fun, but I think the music was her favorite part of the evening.
