The only problem was that the seats were too hard. These days the T-Dome charges for parking. Sounds like Showare is worth checking out.

Here in the UK they do a TV challenge show Dancing on Ice where several celebs learn to skate and then one is eliminated each week until there are three left.

The people we saw on Saturday were talented - and one couple had won a silver Olympic medal in the past - so they were at a pretty high level of ability. One of these days I hope to attend the Olympics too.Sandra Nachlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906884446237370105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564788257964984972.post-31833200335077546792012-10-21T18:12:55.176-07:002012-10-21T18:12:55.176-07:00What a great time you had!!

When I was in Girl Scouts (in Dallas), we took ice skating lessons as a group and had a terrific time. And we all earned an ice skating merit badge! Of course, we learned only the most elementary moves, but the experience was great fun, and it gave me an appreciation for the skill of the skaters I saw yesterday. I hope you find an ice skating rink somewhere so you can skate again.Sandra Nachlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906884446237370105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564788257964984972.post-52871464168580209042012-10-21T09:35:49.117-07:002012-10-21T09:35:49.117-07:00The ice skating competition lasts the whole weeken...The ice skating competition lasts the whole weekend, and now I wish I'd bought more than just a one-event ticket! The event was filmed by NBC and ESPN, so I'm sure at least some of it will be televised--but that's not the same as being there. I loved sharing this special experience with my co-author and best friend.<br />~Sandy N.Sandra Nachlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906884446237370105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564788257964984972.post-89277682049963819362012-10-21T08:26:52.516-07:002012-10-21T08:26:52.516-07:00OOPS!

Lost it all so here goes another try. . .<br /><br />What fantastic opportunity! I have always been intrigued by ice skating...but being from the South has not afforded many chances to enjoy its rhymthm and beauty. When I lived in the North, I visited Vermon quite often. It was there that I had my first encounter with the ice skates. What a surprise! I wa told I was a natural on the 'ice floor' much like the dancer on the 'dance floor.' Then, like so many things in life it came to an end when unpleasant events led to my departure and a return to my Southern roots. I may not have been able to continue with the ice skating but I certainly still have the memories. I even had my own set of ice skates that I carted around for years and years. Then, during one move they disappeared but the memory still remains. One of my favorite movies: The Cutting Edge. Can watch it over and over and never tire:>)Awakeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00805299930258510680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564788257964984972.post-82064116395780491512012-10-21T07:22:10.397-07:002012-10-21T07:22:10.397-07:00Sounds fantastic.
