The whole family meets over there every Christmas for breakfast, Santa, and more presents (for the kids). We left there around 10am and had a few hours to kill before meeting my parents and sister to go see my Grandma in Madison. She&#8217;s still in therapy at a nursing home. It&#8217;s always hard to go into those places, especially at Christmas. G-ma was doing well, she was just a bit tired, so the visit was short.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, we looked up the times for Juno, and we aimed for the 2:40 showing at Monaco. Talk about perfect timing. Grandma&#8217;s visit ended at 2:20, so we had plenty of time to get to the theater. The movie was cute, but not as good as I thought it would be. I still really enjoyed it, but <i>something<\/i> was missing. I guess I hoped Michael Cera&#8217;s (Superbad) character played a larger part in the movie. Oh well. The soundtrack was brilliant, and really triggered my emotions&#8230;but that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s supposed to do.<\/p>\n<p>After the movie, the sun was starting to set and it made the entire area radiate. The camera battery only lasted for about 10 minutes, but I captured what I wanted.<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We started the day at 8am by going over to his brother&#8217;s house.
