Set Up:
We are traveling to NYC with baby G. It will be cold so we are choosing indoor activities -- museums, art exhibits, toy stores, etc. We do not have anything special planned for the evenings - except maybe Times Square because baby G LOVES LOVES LOVES bright lights.
Since I we booked the flights I have been DYING to purchase Broadway tickets to The Lion King. Online we're looking at $300 bucks for Art and I to attend. It's a vacation and all but...
Question:
Is it worth it to shell out that much money for a musical?
I've made the PROS/CONS list...
Pros:
It's Broadway
It's The Lion King
It's indoors - no cold.
We aren't paying for the cost of a hotel - let's spend that money on the tickets
Cons:
It's $200-$300 - That's half of what we spent on the plane tickets.
It's that much money for 3 hours worth of activity.
That money could be spent on Christmas gifts or future vacations
We would have to ask my family to babysit Gaby.
So it's a tie -- and really, the first point under the CONS list is worth 3 points so CONS is winning.
What would you do? Splurge or Conserve?
