| via happy tuesday to you!
i hope you had a fantastic weekend.
mine was productive and that's always a good thing.
i got a good run in on mission bay saturday morning
while the boys rode their bikes ahead of me. every so often they get the reminder "i need to see you with my eyes" {my rule now that i gave them a pretty long leash}.
and the fun didn't stop there.
i washed four loads of laundry,
tidied the house {so that it was presentable to anna, our summer sitter} monday am.
last, i got all of scoutie's birthday thank yous cards in the mail.
he had so much fun writing in each of them - a dozen!
since saturday was mostly taken up with chores/errands,
i tried to squeeze in some fun on sunday.
c spent a chunk of the day at the beach with three little guys {finn's buddy josh in tow}, jen and i snuck away to play.
we went to the cineapolis, a new luxurious movie theater here in san diego.
we went before noon and tickets were still almost $20 {ouch}.
the good news is, we didn't have to pay a dime for them.
we used the giftcard i received from my breakfast club girls for my birthday!
so what does one get for an almost $20 a seat?
well, probably the most comfortable chair i've sat in...EVER!!
it was super thick, wide, reclined all the way back and even had a footrest.
seriously, if the movie wasn't interesting, i would have fallen asleep.
there were two deep cupholders on each chair, and a little tray that swings out
for your food/snacks and then tucks away neatly when you don't need it.
the theater sells more than typical movie snacks - they have coffee {gourmet too},
alcohol, and hot and cold appetizers. WOW!!
so on to the movie.
of everything that was playing, the wes anderson's moonrise kingdom was the only
movie that sounded interesting and jen was up for seeing it.
{she's a fan of the director's artistic films}
and YES, this film is artsy - in a good way.
if you are familiar with wes anderson's other films, you will recognize his style.
i think more than anything, i loved the costumes and music.
the story is about two awkward 12 year olds who fall in love and run away together.
i won't say more about it, as I don't want to spoil it for those who might see it.
watch the trailer at this link to learn more.
as for the fancy theater, it was nice, but i certainly won't be going back
regularly or i won't be able to feed my three, but someday i do hope to go back
for a special date night with c or to celebrate a birthday with a girlfriend.
