The One With Mayflower Beach

 

 

We spent some time down at the Cape and we had the pleasure of going to Mayflower Beach, on the bayside of the Cape. Normally, it would have been croweded but we picked a cool and windy day! A cold front had just passed through and the wind was whipping. The white caps were amazing, despite the fact it was low tide. In fact, it was so low that we were able to see people walking far out on the sand.

 

More interesting was  the fact that there were para-surfers using the windy conditions to surf with parasails. It was incredible to watch. And the beach was amazing!!!

The One With the Fireworks

 

 

 

Tonight, Danvers hosted its second annual triumphant return of the fireworks (the image above is from the ones from last year in Danvers). Normally, we would have rushed to see it (in fact, Bri did). However, Kiff was making his way over to fireworks held in Beverly, to enjoy him with a former preschool friend that he has reconnected with. So, we dropped him off at Lynch Park, Emmie did a few errands, than we went back to pick him up. Fortunately, we got there early enough to watch the end of the fireworks show. It was actually pretty great. And, it turns out that this is a perfect place to watch them, too!!!

The One With Colin Jost

 

 

Tonight, we had the opportunity to go to MGM Fenway to see Colin Jost. What a great show!!

 We started the night be going to the Cask and Flagon. It was a good take, as usual.

Then, we made our way down to MGM. We were able to quickly get in and had good seats. The show actually featured three different openers, including another one from SNL as well. The first opener was solid. The second one was a little new, so he was still working on things. The third one - the guy from SNL - was hilarious. And Colin Jost was amazing. He was funny, but, as a former student at Harvard, also enjoyed interacting with a Boston crowd....particularly one that was interested in where Scarlett Johanson was.

 He even stayed longer than he was supposed to, answering questions from the crowd at the end (several of which were Scarlett related). After we left, Emmie mentioned that the person next to us looked like his mother. In fact, we are pretty sure, if she was indeed there, we spent the evening next to her.

All and all, it was a great night.

 

The One With Naked Gun

 

 

Earlier today, we saw the new Naked Gun movie. Full disclosure - I was not too sure how I would like it. Seeing Liam Neeson in a comedy was not what I typically have in mind as good movie fodder.

 

However, it turned out to be a great take. The movie follows the makeup of the originals. Liam Neeson is Frank Drebin Jr.....son of Leslie Nelson's character (I like how the actor's names are similar). The movie itself was the same type of "dumb funny" as the original.

 

 Bri and Kiff liked it, tho Bri, who recently saw the original, liked the OG better. Emmie gave it 5 out of 10. 

 

Overall, a good movie.
