As most of you know, Brett and I are patiently and/or impatiently making our way through the pre-baby bucket list. Last year I surprised Brett on his birthday with a trip to see The Tonight Show (team CoCo for life) and we ecstatically crossed number 10 off our list. Not to be outdone, Brett planned an equally exciting pre-baby bucket list trip for my birthday—Cirque du Soleil!
We spent a lovely weekend in Los Gatos, which might just be the cutest town you’ve never discovered. Until now, because I just told you. We stayed at Hotel Los Gatos and dined at I Gatti, which were both fabulous. (secret: I may or may not have a lovely JDV discount to share with my friends if any of you are interested).
And then? Showtime!
First thought: WOW. Second thought: HOW? Third thought: I want to start taking gymnastics so I can do .08% of what these creatures can do.
It was amazing. Like, jaw-hitting-the-floor-are-these-people-even-human(?)-amazing. The level of flexibility, agility, and balance that each person possessed was enough to make you want to master yoga immediately. My favorite part? The men/”crickets” falling from the sky, bouncing/flipping off a trampoline into the air, and landing perfectly positioned on a rock wall. No joke. It made me want to buy a trampoline. And a rock wall. And a green leotard. Needless to say, they received a much-deserved standing ovation.
For those of you keeping track, number 8 has officially been crossed off our list (hooray!).
Now, who’s ready for Greece? 
p.s. Cirque du Soleil is coming to Sacramento in June and we miiiiight be going again. Consider yourself invited.
One, I adore Los Gatos. I wish I would have known you were in neighborhood- there is the most adorable cupcake place in downtown Los Gatos!
Two, I saw Ovo in San Jose and loved it, but I must say the tent just doesn’t compare to Vegas. If you get a chance to see a Cirque du Soleil there, I highly recommend it! I saw Love, my parents have seen just about all of them, and I’m dying to see O.
Three, SO happy you crossed one more thing off the list! You’re inspiring me
I spy some rather fabulous-looking boots!
I’m still so uber jealous you got to go! Ugh I believe you when you say how amazing it is. If Glenn and I can afford it, consider us in for June if you guys go again! ps; congrats on crossing another thing off! Also, I’m going to Greece on my honeymoon even if it kills me.
I’ve heard Cirque is awesome, never seen it. Good for you for crossing another thing off!
I just got to see Ovo too – love it!!! I’m glad you go to go. I live in Santa Clara and would totally travel to Sac to see it again!
One) Love love love your blog. Two) Cirque looks wicked awesome. Three) I absolutely adore your boots! So cute.
Best,
Hannah Katy
