Daddy Mac has been working seven days a week for quite a long while now and finally has a whole entire two-day weekend off. Yee ha! Hallelujah! Today he gallantly took the Saminator up to DC to see the Natural History Museum and Air & Space Museum. This field trip was all inspired by seeing the “Night at the Museum” movies this week. Sam and I saw the new second one at a matinee the other day, and we both absolutely loved it.
Here’s some background for you — we saw “Night at the Museum” after we originally went to see “Up” movie. However the plot thickened when the previews scared Sam so much he ran out of the theatre and refused to go back in. So after much coaxing by the manager of the theatre, we tried “Night at the Museum,” which I thought would be another surefire disaster. However, he did not find humungous dinosaurs, spear-wielding Pharaohs, or Ivan the Terrible scary at all. Go figure. To be fair I didn’t think I’d like it either as I’m not a big Ben Stiller fan. Much to my surprise, it was very entertaining, clever, and witty. Since we liked Part 2 so much, we watched the first one with Daddy Mac last night while drinking take-out draft beer from our favorite BBQ haunt. (That was Daddy Mac and me, not Sam.) Surprisingly enough Sam and I decided we both liked the Part II version much better, the first time I have ever liked the sequel better than the original.
So anyway Sam took Daddy, I mean, Daddy took Sam on a DC adventure. Look for the trailer for “A Day at the Museum” coming soon to a theatre near you! I took the opportunity to duck out to the outlets in Williamsburg to return a truckload of stuff to LL Bean (only a slight exaggeration), peruse Brooks Brothers for Daddy Mac, and of course ransack the Carter’s store searching for bargains galore. (You know they are there somewhere, you’ve just go to dig in and find them where they live!)
Tomorrow will be Daddy’s day to do his own “thang.” You deserve it. Plus Sam and I need some time to plan our upcoming Father’s Day festivities!
