We spent this week in Durham, N.C at The Millennium Hotel. Loved Durham. The Hotel was nothing special. They did have an indoor pool and we took her swimming a few times. She loves the water!!!!! Her favorite new game is peekabo. She's always laughed when we do it to her, but she has taken the reigns of the game now. She holds her blanket up, holds very still, thrn yanks it down and giggles. She can improvise with a bib, menu, or anything else she can get her hands on. It's pretty great!!
We had a lot of fun going to Duke Gardens, as well. This, being the first city back in nice weather, made the day even sweeter. Haven and Denny came too, which made it the sweetest!
I brought Soph to the theatre between shows on Saturday. We try to do that on the weekends so she gets some daddy time on one of those days, we stay home Sunday between shows for Eric to rest. Soph loves all the attention she gets at the theatre though. What other baby gets to grow up with fairytale creatures as friends?! She visits with a friendly Ogre named Daddy/Uncle Shrek, gets visits from the Ugly Duckling, gets kisses from a princess and has a grown man with sewn on dwarf legs dance with her. What a life!!!! And if she gets bored with all that, we can always push her around in the laundry basket. Always a winner, that one.
The Performing Arts Complex in Durham is one of the many theaters that has each act traveling through sign the walls backstage with a signature (I.e. Jerry Sienfeld, Whoopie Goldberg, Gabe Dixon Band) or a big Mural (Mamma Mia, Lion King, Pink Floyd) that is signed by the entire company. Denny Paschal (Peter Pan) designs the murals in all the cities. This city was a play off the Lion King mural. This is just the sketch. Now comes the paint.
Here is the finished wall mural in Memphis. It's a fave!
