We went to the Forum in Harrisburg to see Alyssa's dance recital tonight. She was great and she had a great time. It was her first (she's five), and I was definitely reminded of a certain sister of mine's recital of, um, just a few years ago. :-)

If you've never been to The Forum by the way, it's a pretty cool place. It's a large, round Greek building next to the State Capitol building. The ceiling is painted like the Sistine Chapel with all the constellations in their Greek forms, with lit five-pointed stars all over. I got to ask Drew "Where's the crab? Where's the bear?" and others. He loved it.

Unfortunately, the show was so long that I had to leave at intermission. Alyssa was finished dancing, but it would've been nice to see the whole thing--she stayed with Mommy and Drew for the rest of the show.

But I left for Philly and a plane to Seattle in the morning.
