It All Ended Last Night…

My cousin Jenna is a teacher in China and is home for a few weeks for summer vacation so I’m spending a few days visiting her and the family in Vancouver, Washington.
It’s been a busy few days so far:
- the night that I arrived, her younger brother Riley and his Little League All-Star team was their district championship and are headed to the State Tournament this weekend. We’re all heading up to Seattle this weekend for it!
- yesterday i went on a 7-mile run. I didn’t get out the door until lunch time, but thankfully it was overcast and cool. I ran a mile and a half to the track, 4 miles at the track and then back home. It was a good one.
- in the afternoon we hung out in downtown Portland in the Pearl District and went to my all-time favorite Lululemon store. I got Jenna her very first pair of Lulu clothing – the Groove Pants! I’m so excited to introduce her to the world of Lulu! After Lulu we walked to Powell’s Books – Portland’s famous book store and spent hours there! there is just so many good books to read!
- we stopped off at pf chang’s (because she wanted american chinese food and had never been to pf chang’s before) for happy hour. 4 appetizer dishes for under $20 – can’t beat that!it was our dinner!
- and finally, we went to the midnight showing of this:
jenna, aunty delta (her mom), vanda (her friend) and i got our tickets over a month ago for the midnight showing here. we are huge fans and read all the books and have seen all the movies (in fact we also watched the Deathly Hallows Part 1 twice yesterday!).
but we aren’t the type to stand in line for hours. We did a drive by of the theatre on the way back from Portland and it wasn’t too bad at 7 pm. we called the theatre and they said it was playing on 9 screens and the doors opened at 10:45 pm. we got there at 11 pm and the line wrapped around the building but moved quickly. We probably only stayed in line for maybe 30 minutes.
but once the movie was ready to begin, there were technical difficulties with the projector! the theatre was patient at first, but after a few minutes everyone started to get antsy. They finally got it going 30 minutes late and it was worth it!
IT WAS PERFECT!
i won’t give away any spoilers, but as a huge HP fan, I was very happy with it!
Now that it’s all over, I don’t know what to do with myself….
…except go and see it again? I think I foresee an HP marathon in my future!
