Eat like a Pilgrim Nov 2014






 Scott and I tried out Thanksgiving Points "Eat Like a Pilgrim"
It was a dinner similar to what the original Pilgrims would eat. The set up was spot on, cast iron dishes, no cutlery.  The entertainment was pretty decent.  We got chastised for not having a head covering.  Thankfully I had a sweater on to cover my arms otherwise either I or Scott (most likely Scott) would be put in the stocks.
They were a little off in that they actually served turkey and no fish but it was the idea of the whole thing I guess.
Scott joined the tug of war with colonists against Indians.  I am proud to say my man pulled them over the top. Gotta love those muscles.
They had a folk dance that we participated in.  Scott said this counted as his yearly "take me dancing" but I disagree because we weren't even allowed to touch each other in this dance.  We leaned over to give each other a kiss and were scolded for our inappropriateness.  It was still fun to flirt with each other and we had a good time. Sometimes I feel guilty for leaving the kids out of something like this but then I just chalk it up to date night with my sweetie and those are very important.




Trans Siberian Orchestra Nov 2014

We decided to check out the transiberian orchestra one more time.  They were playing the album that we really like so we wanted to see it live.  Our seats are pretty good right in the center and as usual the light show was pretty entertaining.  It is like going to a rock concert though, really loud with weird people and I might be getting a little too old for that sort of thing.  I was a little disappointed in the one song that I just love from them with the children's choir.  They used a bunch of adult singers instead and I felt like it really took away from the how special the song is.  It just wasn't quite the same without the angelic voices of children.  Aside form all of that the musicians really are amazing.  Their stamina alone is impressive and of course one only really goes to see Transiberian Orchestra for the light show.
