The Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra/NYE



HAPPY NEW YEAR!! What better way to ring in the new year than to check out the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra?! While looking for alternative things to do for New Year's Eve...I discovered that they would be playing NYE and then hosting a reception afterwards with snacks, free champagne, a jazz band, dancing and an excellent spot on the river to watch the fireworks at midnight!

Neither of us had ever been specifically to see a symphony orchestra perform, so it was an enchanting evening and an absolutely delightful way to say goodbye to 2010 and prepare ourselves to try even more new things in 2011. In addition to the orchestra, they also had ballroom dancers and opera singers to accompany them during a few numbers.

After seeing the grace of the ballroom dancers, Ryan and I have decided that we want to take lessons in 2011 and give it a "whirl"...get it? Because you whirl in dancing...nevermind. At least I'm laughing :)

Well, I hope that you all had a wonderful 2010 and that you have an even better 2011. Try new things and make your life experiment a good one!
