Final Days

Day 3 
On this day of such an important event, we rose and prepared ourselves.
I had squeeze cheese and wheat thins for breakfast.

The performance wasn't until 2pm so we had a few hours to kill after check out.
So we all headed to Denny's for some brunch and then went back to the beach.




It was quite a bit colder than Friday afternoon.
                                 but it was still the beach.

I was able to capture some cool photographs!

Before the nice beach patrol told us the beach was closed.

Due to the tsunami warning.

After being escorted -we weren't really, that just sounded cool- from the beach
some crazy man insulted us.
He was extremely vulgar and cruel.
I wanted to retaliate in some way but he probably would have knocked me silly.
I tried to take a picture, but he kept looking everytime I tried.
Plus, I am such a pansy-ass and was too chicken to take it.
Next stop... the arts convention center to see the ballet!
I was just so excited.

They performend Don Quixote.
It was AMAZING!
Kitri-Natalia Osipova
Basil-Ivan Vasiliev
I've watched Don Q on YouTube a million trillion times. 
But it was nothing compared to seeing it in real life. 

I was literally speechless afterwords.

I couldn't find a word vast enough to explain how amazed I was. Natalia Osipova was beautiful. Her partner Ivan was equally as visually pleasing.
Them together was magical.
See here. It's not the same as it was live but this is still awesome. You have to at least watch Ivan jump (around 5 and 7 minutes in). It seriously is so insane! 
It was so cool to see a ballet that I myself have performed. 
Not that I am anything compared to them.

After the ballet we left straight for St. George. 

We got stuck in traffic for 2 WHOLE hours. 

We only managed to go about 18 miles.

I died!
Once we finally got through traffic I was resurrected.

There wasn't even an accident it was just normal traffic. 

It was horrid.

We made it to St. George at about 130 am and crashed. We left early Sunday morning and headed back to the place we call home.

One of the best road trips ever. 
Seeing the ballet definitely goes on my list of the best things in my life so far!
