I don’t often get time to spend time alone with my  daughter. Between her pre-professional ballet program and online high school curriculum she is pretty much “booked” all the time. Our day to day communication is usually of a logistical nature: “I’ll be at the bus stop at 5:00.Can you pick me up?”, “Where are my clean tights?”, ” Will you be home in time for dinner or should I plan on just warming it up?”, and so on.  I decided that over Thanksgiving break we would try to slow down just a bit and have some quality girl time together. That meant getting away from the usual routine. So off we went to the ultra luxurious  Broadmoor Hotel. We had fun posing and taking pictures of each other, staying up late watching movies, indulging in ice cream Sundays, coffee and pastries, shopping and just laying back. I love my daughter very much. She is a great daughter, a beautiful person and a loyal, trustworthy friend.
