It is just incredible to me that I can take a mere 1 1/2 hour trip ...
through the most gorgeous places in the country...
see the most beautiful...
awe-inspiring views...
literally in our backyard...
and here are some more views
(when my dad looked at the photos, he said, "I presume you took these from the car"....ahhhhhh... yeah....)
and end up here.....
Sugarbaby and I had been talking about this weekend ever since I sent away for the tickets in May!!! And here we were, just a few feet from the ice (section 8, row A) at the Stars on Ice opening night in Lake Placid!!!!!
Scott Hamilton was the emcee!!!!! How can you not love him!?
This performance will be aired on NBC on January 4th for you all to enjoy too!

Sugarbaby was so excited, she kept asking me to pinch her!!!!

the choreography was just amaaaaaazing!!!
and the costumes were wonderful!!!!
The men did a couple of numbers...
and if you weren't all ready in lust with John Zimmerman before the performance, it was hard not to be after!!! (Sugarbaby said, "Mom, you are a married woman!")
Sugarbaby's fave figure skater is Sasha Cohen. She was absolutely beautiful up close and sooooo graceful on the ice!!!!
And, when you watch this on television next month, if you hear someone yell, "Sasha.... I love you!!!!!" (at least a couple of times!), you will have heard my Sugarbaby!!!

She had actually brought a sign with her with Sasha's name but it was taken from her as we entered the arena and told that they would make sure to get it to Sasha. I felt sad for Sugarbaby.

What a wonderful trip to take! The remark about sugarbaby asking you to pinch her made me all misty-eyed! How absolutely incredible to be able to do something like that for -and with- your daugther! It's something she will remember for the rest of her life! Fantastic! And you were there with her. Aaaaww!
