Today we are exhausted from running around all this week. We just relax until the afternoon. I pack the suitcase that I am leaving here in Egypt. He packs his suitcase.

Free Tickets to the Ballet

My daughter in law has free tickets for the four of us to see the ballet. Free is great. No loss if it sucks or we have to leave early because the kids are too antsy. The performance is called Precedence. We arrive early. We find our seats. Wow! The military has the front row. The kids of course... Sign in to see full entry.
