A trip to Saratoga! and some other stuff too!

So...as you already know, my camera died on me at the mall of America. Paul and I finally finished the camera and had it developed so here are some pics from that day!
Here's the backyardigans ride!

















Me with a huge lego T-Rex
And a pic of everyone holding up their shopping bags from the day. I have to say that I bought the least of everyone. I walked out with a new mac eyeliner and that's it! Mom and Dad should be so proud!
Now that that is settled, on to Albany! We had two days off before our performances at the Palace Theatre so I rented a car and drove up to my favorite place...SARATOGA SPRINGS!!! It I got there on monday, stopped by the dance studios and saw my jazz teacher, had lunch at Putnam, took ballet class, taught a Pilates mat class at Meghan's studio, got my favorite mushroom ravioli from Wheatfields, went to the sketchies show and hung out with Laurie, Laura, Lauren and Casey. Pretty great first day. The next day was free cone day at Ben & Jerry's! I went to yoga in the morning, had brunch with Deb, my ballet teacher, had a free cone of a delicious new flavor called something like 7-layer coconut chocolate bar,
worked out at the pilates studio, saw the Fox's and went to dinner with them, and then, after a few glasses of boxed wine, went to the Bandersnatchers jam! Phenomenal.
Here's a pic of the Carousel in Congress park:here are the fox boys on our way to dinner:


Aren't they just the cutest?!?!






and no, Kurt and Jen did not pay me to write that!







So..after two fantastic days in Saratoga, I was off to Albany again to have lunch with Debbie (my jazz teacher) and her husband before a two show day!


















While in Albany, before the first show, it was decided that the disposable camera from the mall of america had to be finished. We took some great photos. The winner, for obvious reason, is the photo Paul and I have titled "Heroin Chic"I really think that our pre-show attire (mics, footmen jacket, wig caps, under eye liner) really bring out the underlying meaning of the photo.

From Albany, we sailed on over to Wilkes-Barre, PA. Well, I can tell you this, I won't be going back there any time soon. Luckily it was a nice day to walk around a little because there was NOTHING to do! Paul and I tried to find a bank of america and were send on a wild goose chase through a very scary neighborhood. The theatre was fine:
and the people patriotic:
and that's about it! From Wilkes-Barre we hopped back on our bus--home sweet home--and started our journey to Camden, NJ! Oy vey!
