A Christmas Carol and Fun Food Day

Last night Starshine and I went to see "A Christmas Carol" at the Guthrie. It was a great performance, though definitely scarier than I would have thought. I am super surprised she didn't end up in our room with a "I had a scary dream" excuse last night. We drove a family that just moved here from Milwaukee - what a small world. When I told them we were from Racine, the mom commented, "Oh, Racine is going downhill - good thing you got out of there." Sorry fellow Racinians! We had a lot of fun, though I didn't realize we wouldn't get home until almost 11! Starshine was shocked that she was up that late - and thank goodness she is taking a nap this afternoon.
Scarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry!!! The play was pretty scarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry!!!!!

Today we decided to finally drive down to Coastal Seafood today. They are supposed to be the best place for fresh seafood in the area. Ironically, it is right by our old apartment and we had never been there. Of course, back then I still didn't like seafood and our budget was tighter :).

So tonight is Mahi Mahi, which I've never had before. M&M Dad is pretty excited about the new challenge. The girls were not impressed with the smell, but liked all the cool fish in the display.

Jr. Princess especially liked the look of the spikey one (crab legs), though she has already proclaimed that she will not be eating dinner.

Then it was off to Midtown Global Market for lunch, since it was so close. I am still impressed with the girls' great attitude towards trying new foods. Though even I thought the African beef curry was way too spicey, and don't blame them for focusing on the rice.
We finshed off lunch by dancing to the live music by the tables. (I tried to take video, but I'm having technical difficulties tonight).

The market had all different kinds of foods.
