Well, other than the fact that most of our clothes ended up in the backyard. Our dogsitter had some teeth removed and took some painkillers. When he woke up all of the clothes they could reach and everything they could find from the bathrooms was outside in the yard covered in dirt and grass. Most of it was just clothes which is all washable so not a big deal. But they did manage to destroy one pair of my shoes, a pair of slippers, and my FAVORITE stuffed animal. I'm pretty bummed about the stuffed animal, but Matt promised we'd fix it.
San Francisco was fabulous though. It was beautiful weather the ENTIRE time we were there. It was 70's and 80's the entire week and gets chilly at night like it does in Colorado. Couldn't have asked for better weather while we were there. Matt went to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and had a blast. We went to Pier 39 and saw the sea lions, Brooklyn Bridge, and the most fabulous sports shop ever. Literally has every single sports team EVER. Noni and Papa bought us matching KU sweatshirts which are crazy comfortable! We spent most of the week lounging around and watching TONS of movies. Only downfall is that on the day we were supposed to go to Napa Valley (i couldn't wait) I got food poisioning and ended up in the bathroom for a majority of the night. Total bummer on that one.
We watched TONS of movies this week and I'll post a couple of quick reviews if anybody was planning on watching them. I watched "Whip It" on my ipod on the way to California. It stars Drew Barrymore and Ellen Paige. Ellen Paige has an extremely strict mother who wants her to compete in pageants for scholarship money. She finds a brochure for roller derby and competes. She ends up becoming one of the stars of roller derby. It was a really good movie! It had lots of cute and quirky moments. Ellen Paige is fabulous in it. I give it 3.5/5 stars.
I also watched "The Lovely Bones" with Mark Wahlberg. Wahlberg's daughter "Suzi" gets murdered by a neighbor. It's a good story about what happens after death. She shows herself in many ways to the family and ends up helping her dad figure out who murdered her. A few weird twists, but overall a decent film. As long as you are ready for some depressing moments. I give it 3/5 stars.
We watched the "A-Team" with Matt's dad and this ended up being WAY better than I thought it would be. The reviews weren't fabulous, but as an action movie...it really rocks. It stars Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper. Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper make this movie. The action scenes are all really well done and the scene at the end is absolutely incredible. Definite 4/5 stars.
We also saw "Toy Story 3" which makes us seem pretty lame, but considering how much I love children's movies I had to see this. It stars all of the original cast, but some additions. Andy goes to college and the team gets dropped off and donated to a daycare. The dictator teddybear sends them in with the toddlers. Good movie with tons of cute and quirky parts. Definite must see 4/5 stars.
On Friday we saw "Grownups" starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. They become friends over a championship basketball team and when their coach dies- it brings them and their families back to the cabin they spent time in at as kids. Lots of funny parts, some crudeness. 3.5/stars
If you wanted to watch one of these, now you know! Happy Reading! And now for some San Fran photos!
