Eclipse

I haven't blogged since Tuesday! What is going on?! Actually, I'll tell you what has been going on. It's been one busy week. When life gets hectic I find it hard to fit in time to blog. I can't comprehend how some of you keep up on a daily basis! June is long gone, and July is now in full force. July is one of those months that always kicks off with a bang. Ya know what I mean?!

Wednesday, the last day in the month of June, was an incredibly exciting evening. After work I headed up via commuter rail to the town of Reading to see Eclipse at the IMAX theater. Tricia, Ashley and myself got in line at 5:30 for the 7:00 show to make sure we got good seats. It might sound crazy, but essential as the front row at IMAX would not be a pleasant experience. Even an hour and a half before the show, there were plenty of fans already lined up.
In a nutshell because anyone who cares already knows exactly how the stories goes, I loved the movie. Definitely the best of the series thus far. Afterward the three of us headed to Salem, where I would be spending the night at Tricia's place. We stopped in at Rockafellas for a post movie discussion and a bite to eat and drink.
I drank a Magic Hat Circus Boy garnished with an orange.
I ate the Fried Brie Salad ($10). Those golden crispy squares are actually warm, thick, gooey chunks of lightly fried Brie cheese. A crisp gala apple and crunchy walnuts over a bed of mixed greens paired to create am awesome salad. I have a feeling we will hit up Rockafellas on our next Salem outing so I will be sure to provide a full review of the service and atmosphere then!
I took the commuter rail into North Station the next morning. Thursday night after work was the big birthday celebration with Adam's family. I say the "big birthday celebration" because Adam is lucky enough to share his day of birth with 3 other members of his family. He has a twin sister, Kirsten and they just so happened to be born on the same day that their twin Aunts Marjorie and Marie were born many years earlier. What are the chances?! Two sets of twins in one family with the same birthdays.
