Movie Night

Matt and I have missed our sweet babies this week and yet we still tried to make the most of our child-free time by doing something unusual - going to the movies. Matt and I both wanted to see The Avengers but didn't think it was age appropriate for either of the boys. We called around and found one movie theater that was still showing the movie. We did our homework and watched Captain America which was out on video the night before. Then we bought our tickets and selected our choice seats in the center of the theater. As the movie started it became apparent we were going to be the only ones watching. Matt made me laugh when he leaned in to tell me "You know I paid extra to rent out the whole theater..." Ha! We enjoyed the movie and had a fun night, although we were pretty tired. We aren't used to being out after 9PM!

The next night we went out to the Grand Marlin at the beach for dinner. It was a fun evening. We sat on the patio and listened to a guy playing the steel drums. Then we sat on the beach and watched the sun set. Peaceful and relaxing.

I have a Pensacola story to share. There truly is a small town feel to Pensacola in that there isn't much traffic and wait times at restaurants generally aren't that bad. Anyway in Pensacola there are 3 hospitals. Two of them have recently started advertizing wait times in their emergency rooms on electronic billboards that update every 30 minutes. Well we recently drove past a sign and it was advertizing a 1 minute wait time for the emergency room. Matt joked that he felt the need to break and arm or a leg just to take advantage of such a short waiting time! I couldn't imagine UAB hospital ever having such a short wait time.

Since we worked on July 4th and the day after we didn't really do anything to celebrate so here is a picture of the boys on July 4th in their new shirts. Thanks Granddottie and Jerry Pop!
