An Artistic Break

With racing, boxing, baseball and soccer, this has to have been one of our sportiest trips ever. I finally got back to the arts yesterday with two visits to the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.
In the morning we visited the very touristy but always worth a visit film presentation about the state - Kentucky Show! I expect you've seen them - the little travelogues with overlaid pictures and breathtaking shots of scenery set to music. It filled in any blanks we had about Kentucky. Did you know blue grass doesn't just refer to the music? In early June certain grasses blossom with tiny blue flowers which makes the fields appear blue. (See how educational this blog can be sometimes? Now I've saved you the effort of having to actually come here yourself).
In the evening we saw Legally Blonde, which would be our daughter's favourite musical of all time if she ever gets the opportunity to see it.
Many of the girls in the audience dressed up as Elle, sparkling in tight hot pink dresses and dainty heels.
Not one of the all time great musicals, but a lot of fun and no sport anywhere, unless you include a couple of bouts in court!
