West Palm Beach, FL & Colombus, GA

West Palm Beach was just fantastic! It was a busy week of family, friends and sunshine. When we got there it was raining like crazy and the forecast was more of the same for the whole week. WE lucked out though and had gorgeous weather.

We performed at the Kravis Center which is absolutely breathtaking:
We were sold out the entire week there which was so exciting!

I got to hang out with Uncle Danny and Aunt Peggy on Friday which was really nice since I don't get to see them as often as I would like to. We went to Mar-a-Lago for lunch and my friend Heather came with us. What a gorgeous place! The food was fantastic and the sporatic rain did nothing to dull the surroundings. Everything is so ornate, it felt like going to see the palaces and cathedrals in Europe!In this picture we are out by the pool with the estate in the background.

After a wonderful day of hanging out with them we had the show and then Shane flew into West palm! It was so great to see him. We also got to hang out with cousins Iris, Allison, Alexia, Alec and Anya on Saturday afternoon. Alexia is 11 now and dances and her birthday present was tickets to the show. I had the cast sign a big photo program for her and I hear from Iris that she loves it.

Shane and I had a relaxing and fun weekend and I'm excited to see him again at the end of this month!

We had just a matinee on Sunday and after Shane left for the airport a bunch of us went to City Place to go watch the Superbowl. Since I wasn't too invested in the game, I went back to the hotel to pack for our 6:15am bus call to fly to Atlanta and then take a 3 hour busride to Colombus. The travel wasn't too bad and I started the day with a great ham, egg and cheese on a biscuit from burger king. The only thing better would have been a breakfast sandwich and coffee from Dunkin Donuts, but they didn't have one. I almost missed the flight because of it, but it was 100% worth it.

Side note, has anyone else flown AirTran? We have now flown twice with them and both times people almost missed the flight. There's an average of 1.5 people working behind the counter and since they don't have online check-in it takes forever. Plus, we were flying the day after the superbowl so security was packed. Oy vey. Hopefully it won't be as crazy in the future.

So now we are in Colombus, GA. I have to say I wasn't expecting much. I don't know what gave me that feeling, but I was pleasantly surprised. Colombus State University is here so there are some cute coffee shops and pubs on the main strip, as well as a charming General Store. It looks a lot like Red Bank, NJ before all of the renovations. I took a walk this morning along the river right here and got some cool pictures:

The town (city?) has a lot of character and small town sensibility. I think some of us may go to one of the pubs on the main strip after the show tonight to get a taste of local life. I'm curious to see what our audience is like. I'll keep y'all posted.
