Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

On the drive from the airport to our villa on the first day we passed these huge black and white striped circus tents. At first I assumed it was a sketchy local circus until we saw the huge Kooza signs, it turns out cirque de soleil is in town.

I’ve seen cirque twice before – both in Vegas – and both times have been mind blowing. We showed the kids some videos and they were also instantly hooked. We made it a reality Sunday.

The show did not disappoint. It never does. The kids spent 2 hours mesmerized by tight rope walkers, contortionists, acrobats, the ring of death and clowns. They were all completely exhausted for the ride home. My pictures will never do the show justice – you need to see it for yourself – but these do give you an idea of just how incredible this show is. I’m sure this won’t be our last cirque show.
