The One With The Date Night



Last week we finally had one. A date night for the first time in a long time.

Yay....but what a wacky date night it was. The plan was to go to the Outback restaurant and see La La Land.

Well, that became an adventure because the Outback was packed. So, we went to the Texas Roadhouse, which was also packed. We ended up at Panini Restaurant, eating a spinach and garlic pizza. Not quite the plan....but a great pizza, and a success.

When we went to AMC Cinemas, we arrived to find La La Land sold out. Great. Luckily, we were able to track down a show in Salem. Phew!

Turns out Salem has great popcorn. The movie was good....but it was definitely a disappointing ending. However, the evening itself was fun and memorable...even if it took a wild turn.

The One With Donald Trump as President


Today is the day.

January 20th....it has arrived at last.

Inauguration Day


Donald Trump is president.  He had planned not to have a ceremony with a lot of pomp and circumstance.

Of course, this one is now costing more than $100 million dollars.

I can only imagine what the next four years will be like.

The One With The Providence Bruins

Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend our first pro hockey game as a family. Bri and Kiff's school had a Providence Bruins event.

While it was certainly a hike to get there, the event was well worth it. Bri - whose favorite team is the Bruins - was ecstatic. The game itself was a bit slow for two periods, but the third period was fast and furious.

We were able to see several people who could be on the Bruins in the future, including Accari, Heinen, and Kuraly.  And, Khudobin, just called down from Boston, was the goalie.

The only downfall was the parking - ugh! It took forever to get out - or so it seemed - so we went to Uno's while we waited.

Definitely a very memorable event!

The One With Snow

At last

It arrived

The first big snow...earlier today.

It was fluffy and light

The best type

And we are enjoying it
