It was nice to spend some time off with Megan. On a whim we decided to go to the movies and we were in the mood for a light fun movie...Cloudy with a chance of Meat Balls. It was a sweet cute movie, even for us older ones. The best part was for 2 tickets, 2 drinks and a large popcorn it only cost us $11.00!! You don't hear of that very often!!
