Peking Acrobats

Want to know a reason why Christopher is such a great husband?

Here's why. For my Christmas present this year, he searched far and wide for tickets to Taylor Swift. I love her. But unbeknown to him, she is supposedly not so hot live. So it's kind of a blessing that he couldn't find reasonably priced tickets.

Instead he got me tickets to the Peking Acrobats. If he was going for the biggest surprise, he probably won, because tickets to a March show of the Peking Acrobats was one of the last things I expected to open on Christmas morning.

We went last night. And it was AMAZING. People were standing on each others heads! Not just on their shoulders, but with feet balancing on foreheads. One trick involved 12 people balancing on a single bicycle and riding around the stage. It was just one thing after another, and Christopher and I absolutely loved it. It was the funnest show!

One thing that made me laugh--when we showed up the concert hall in Raleigh the other stage was hosting Ben Folds. When we presented the lady with our tickets, she expressed surprise that we weren't going to watch him, and were heading for the acrobat stage instead. Christopher jokingly told me, "I guess the acrobat show is for oldies." When we sat down in our assigned seats we were right next to a huge community from a retirement home, on a field-trip. Yeah.

Here are some pictures but they don't really do the acrobats justice. They were also found on the internet, since we're both lame and forgot the camera. (Chris your phone doesn't count!)



Christopher, you never cease to surprise me. Thanks for making life so fun!
