I have so many events coming up in the near future that have me giddy with excitement... Psychedelic Furs... road trip to San Antonio... Morrissey... The Pixies!!!
However, the event that has me so over the top with giddiness is the one that I am planning for my 40th birthday. I have decided to take a road trip to Kellerman's, which is actually Mountain Lake Lodge, in Pembroke, Virginia. If Kellerman's sounds familiar, that's because it is the location where portions of the movie, Dirty Dancing, were filmed.
Mountain Lake Lodge actually hosts Dirty Dancing-themed weekends throughout the summer months. I have already booked myself a room for one of those said weekends; however, I am wise enough not to share which weekend in particular in the event some random weirdo stalker is reading this.
My original intention was to fly to Pembroke, but I came to the realization that I would be missing out on a prime opportunity to stop by Graceland and The Grand Ole Opry, both in Tennessee. Therefore, I've taken a few more days off from work in order to make a road trip out of this 40th birthday celebration.
What is even cooler is that this year is the 30th anniversary of the film. My sweet little 10-year-old self had a Dirty Dancing poster hanging on my bedroom wall, and I watched the closing dance scene of the film almost every morning before school during my 5th grade year. To say that I am excited about this trip is a complete and total understatement!!!
Today, I am going to include a clip from the opening scene of the film so that you can see Kellerman's (Mountain Lake Lodge), and don't you worry yourself one bit... I assure you that plenty of pictures and another Dirty Dancing post will be soon to follow after the trip!! I'll post a YouTube video of the full song below the lyrics.
Until next time...
XOXOXO

Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
Big girls don't cry (who said they don't cry?)
My girl said goodbye-yi-yi (my oh my)
My girl didn't cry (I wonder why)
Told my girl we had to break up
(Silly boy) hoped that she would call my bluff
(Silly boy) then she said to my surprise
"Big girls don't cry"
Big girls don't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
Big girls don't cry (who said they don't cry?)
Baby I'm a fool (I'm such a fool)
"Shame on you" your mama said
(Silly girl) "Shame on you, you're cryin' in bed"
(Silly girl) "Shame on you, you told me lies"
Big girls do cry
Big girls don't cr-yi-yi (they don't cry)
Big girls don't cry (that's just an alibi)
Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry
Big girls don't cry
