Delayed 15 Anniversary Weekend Has Begun

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00977

The pandemic delayed our 15th anniversary plans by a year. Allison and I had plans last year at this time to go and see Gabriel Iglesias at Foxwoods. Gabriel is one of our favorite comedians and I saw that he was coming to Foxwoods close to our 15th anniversary (well within a couple months, so, close enough). I had also received a gift card from Nintendo for a campaign I had done around Ring Fit Adventure. The gift card was for any spa that I wanted so I looked up the spa at Foxwoods and had them get me a card for that spa. But before we get to the adventure ahead we had to drop the kids off with my parents for the weekend so that we could have a kid free weekend away.

We drove the kids down to the Cape this morning and then we headed home with the intention of having lunch at Evelyn’s Drive In. I like to get there every couple of years or so to get a seafood platter because their fried food is incredible. Also, it is right on the water so the view is excellent as well. We stopped in and got a couple of cups of chowder and a seafood platter. Everything was cooked to perfection. It is also a place that has both New England Clam Chowder and Rhode Island Clam Chowder so both Allison and I were happy with our favorites.

We got home and then went out to see the new Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. I have been looking forward to seeing this for a long time and was really happy with what I saw. It was a fun movie and I cannot wait to see it again with Eva. We saw her best friend there and she was sworn to not provide and spoilers to Eva.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
