Last week we officially booked our Thalys train tickets to get from Brussels to Paris for a day, so now it's feeling REALLY real!! We've made more plans too, and tried to coordinate when we'll go see some of the bigger things we want to see (we checked days that everything is open, along with hours that they're open... and admission fees if applicable). I think we have a really great plan for everything!! I'm so excited that our trip is coming up in just a few months!!
Last week we also went to the Hiway Theater to see E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. I was SO excited to see ET on the big-screen, but for some reason it hadn't occurred to me or Kevin that there would probably be a lot of children at the theater to see it... Hmm.... I don't know why we hadn't thought of that. It ended up being really funny though, because all of the kids were totally cracking up during so much of the movie. And I thought there would probably be a lot of kids crying at the end (which would make me feel better, because I ALWAYS cry at the end of ET when he's all white and sick), but I was shocked that NO children were crying at all. I think I might have been the only person crying in the theater... What the heck?? I think kids are de-sensitized or hardened or something these days... Or I'm just a weenie and cry too easily. One or the other.
This past weekend, Kevin and I made a quick trip down to Tampa to see my friend Melissa from high school. I haven't seen her in over 4 years, so it was long overdue! She'd never met Kevin, and I hadn't seen her son since he was a toddler and he's now in 2nd grade! We had a lot of fun in Tampa, and the trip was very relaxing and fun. It's such a quick flight down - only about 2 hours!
I made my Fall Bucket List for this year!! It has a lot of the same things as last year, but a few from last year are missing and I added a few more. I may end up adding even more.. but it's a good start, at least! Here it is!!
