Ah, 'tis the season... Eric and I went to The Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker last Friday. We were a bit naive and thought that we could just waltz into a restaurant for dinner before the show. Oh boy were we wrong! Everywhere was absolutely packed! We were looking at a two hour wait at most places, or we could have hovered over someone's bar table to wait for them to leave and then snatch their spot. Since we were both in an optimistic mood, we continued to search for someone who would let us in (we thought this was also very Christmas-y as it resembled Mary & Joseph's story where there was no room at the inn...;). Anyway, we walked into McCormick & Schmick's to find that they were booked as well...oh wait...no! they had a table! Yay!! Thank goodness. The best part is that we were able to watch the Holidazzle Parade go by as we ate. And let it be said that the Alice in Wonderland this year was definitely not as lively as I was last year. Seriously, she needed to put some oomph into her walk. After our dinner, we hustled over to the show. It was great to see so many people dressed up for the holidays. It really put us in the Christmas spirit.
