Ready for the Show!

One of my and K's favorite places to go has always been Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia. This year, he decided it was time to let Bella in on the family tradition, especially since there was a production of Beauty and the Beast. We saw it a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it, so we arranged for Nana to keep Abbigail, and off the three of us went! After stopping for lunch, we arrived at Barter early enough to take a stroll around town, and tour the Martha Washington Inn.


Me and Bella!

Me and K, who as per his unspoken rule is NOT

smiling good! (I love him anyway!)

Bella, (our own little Beauty!) waiting for the show to start!

We all really enjoyed the play! At almost three hours long (with a 15 minute intermission), it was almost too long for a wiggly four year old. But she did great. The theatre has booster seats for the little ones, but they aren't very comfortable. So after about twenty minutes she ended up in my lap. But that was okay. She loved the singing, and even though she was a little leery of the beast at first, that soon wore off. We look forward to more trips to Barter, especially when little Abby can come with us!
