Hippodrome

May 28th, 2008

This weekend we decided to buy season tickets to the Baltimore Hippodrome. I’ve considered getting them for Nicole as gift for the past couple of years but the timing was never right. Either I forgot about them and then when i remembered there weren’t any decent tickets left or the dates that were available just weren’t going to work for us. This weekend I happened to remember that this time of year is the perfect time to be looking into buying the tickets and since there was no special occasion coming up I brought it up with Nicole. Also i figured its a lot harder now with joint finances to hide a $700 purchase for months on end.

Of course nicole fell in love with the idea. After poking around we found that we could get saturday evening tickets for the upcoming season at the Hippodrome. This is ideal for us since it would mean that we wouldn’t have to rush home to work in order to get to the theater on time. I’m kinda looking forward to it since this means we set dates that we will be going out to do something. It’ll also mean that we’ll get to go out for a nice dinner and nicole will get dressed up which I allways enjoy.

So in the next year we’ll be seeing:
