RENT Musical

My mom surprised my sister, Stacey, and I with Broadway tickets to see RENT at the Dallas Music Hall. Before the show we went to NorthPark Mall to eat at La Duni. La Duni is an awesome Latin restaurant that is a must try! If you can't make it to the NorthPark location, not to worry, they have an Oak Law and McKinney Ave location as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mimosas for brunch are a must when out with the girls :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first Broadway show to go to and it was INCREDIBLE! I sang the entire time. I almost felt bad for the people around me but hey, thats what musicals are for, right?! And I just so happened to know all the words to all the songs because I have the movie and watch it ALL the time!

For those of you who haven't heard of RENT. It is considered a "Rock Musical" and tells the story of a group of impoverished young artisits and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York City's Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.

Did you know that RENT was first seen in a limited three-week workshop production in New York Theatre Workshop in 1994 and that this show won a Pulitzer Prize, and the production was a hit?!

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is one of the most fun concerts I have ever been to.

He came to Pizza Hut Park in Frisco and Stacey, Mandy, Jason, Beau, Justin all went to the show!

We all went over to the Addison Improv and had so much fun. The comedians really get the crowd involved they were talking to us the whole time. It was really funny.

Christmas in Winter Park, CO

My family and I wanted to have a real white Christmas, so we decided to all make the drive to Winter Park, Colorado. It was about a 15 hour drive.

We knew we were going to love Winter Park, because we had heard it was a very family friendly park and during Christmas Santa brings his reindeers for all the kids to pet.

We spent the week skiing, snowboarding, tubing, sledding, shopping, laughing and doing many other things. While we were up there we celebrated my mom and Jason's birthday.

Our Christmas Tree

We stayed at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge and it was beautiful and in the middle of everything. We couldn't have picked a better condo to stay in!

On Christmas Eve we watched Santa come down the mountain on a snowmobile!

There are so many activities to do while staying here in WP. We had snowball fights, made snow angels, skied and snowboarded rode down the hill on a sled, walked across the iced over pond...I will never do that again! I was afraid for my life. We drove to Fraser to do the night tubing, it was only about a 10 minute drive, so totally worth it!

Me, Stacey and Jason in the shop getting set up with all of our gear.

The area at the bottom of the mountain, near our hotel, is so cute. There are plenty of cute little shops, food and a Starbucks.
