A Night Out for Mommy and Daddy

My mom was gracious enough to come over and give us an evening out. That hasn't happened in at least 6 months! We decided on dinner and a movie. We went to the Journey on 96th Street. Not bad. Steak could have been better. Seafood was excellent. Sushi was good (although I am no sushi expert).

Then it was off to the show. We were trying to decide between Hancock and Journey to the Center of the Earth. We opted for the second Journey of the evening. We went to UA on 96th Street and they were showing it in 3D. The movie itself was OK. Definitely geared toward kids (not very realistic story line). But the effects were great. Not quite Disney quality in my opinion, but definitely cool. We brought home the glasses and our left over popcorn, so they boys got something out of the evening too.

Todd started his new job at IPL this week. He is in awe I think. An office... with a door! Huge computer screens. Cafeteria. Battlefield at lunch time. Better than Delta. Much better than RedCats. I think he is in heaven. He is just on contractor status for now. Hopefully, he will be officially hired in a few months.

Otherwise, not much going on. It is eat, sleep, and play outside for the Fletcher boys. I am planning another zoo trip in a couple of weeks. And Becky (sorry, Becca :-) ) is coming this way soon. And then, school starts mid August.
