Dinner And A Show

A few months ago, Doug told me he had a surprise evening planned for me for the night before Christmas Eve. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to know. So, about two weeks before the surprise evening, Doug told me he was taking to me to see Cirque du Soleil's Corteo which was playing at Atlantic Station. We are huge fans of Cirque du Soleil.

First, Doug and I dined at Dolce, which was absolutely delicious. I had a "to die for" lobster pasta and Doug had scallops. Then we walked around the shops of Atlantic Station for a little while. In the middle of the Atlantic Station, there is a square which has a huge decorated Christmas tree during the holiday season. At 7PM, there are machines that turn on that blow fake snow. It was really cool, especially for us Atlantans that don't see snow but maybe once a year (and it is usually a dusting). You northerners would be laughing so hard at us because of how neat everyone thought it was!

We walked over to the Cirque tent after the fake snow event. Doug got us tickets in the front row. We could reach out and touch the performers we were so close (of course we weren't allowed to!). The show was phenomenal. We have seen several Cirque shows, and this one was one of the best. I can't thank my sweetie Doug enough for planning such a perfect evening!

And, I want to say a big "Happy New Year" to all of my blog buddies! I hope you all have a wonderful year 2007!
