A Good Day Mr. Willis, A Good Day indeed!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love hearing rain on our aluminum roof during the night?  I heard rain on the roof all night long, and woke up to rain around 9 am.  The best rain is at night, which usually leaves the next day sunny, or partly cloudy.  In the case of Tuesday it was very heavily overcast all morning long.  This worked out well for me as I had some insurance to do, as well as two blog posts to complete.  Since I got such a late start on the day I wasn't finished until after 12:30.

It continued to drizzle on and off all morning, so we thought Tuesday would be a great day to take in a movie.  We haven't seen a movie in a long, long time....since Campbellsville I think.  One movie we wanted to see, which is a continuation of a great movie franchise, was "A Good Day to Die Hard".  These movies are best viewed on the BIG SCREEN, so we found a local theater in nearby Pooler, GA that had a 1:40 pm showing.  There were only 4 other people in the theater besides TLE and I.  Thank goodness it was only an hour and a half long....I don't think my heart could have taken any more.....lol.  We were not disappointed.  I think the original Die Hard movie was released in 1986.  I remember renting the VHS tape to watch in our hotel room back in the summer of '87 when we were at a soccer tournament in Mission Viejo, CA.  My mother was with us that weekend, and so she joined us to watch it.....at one point near the end she begged me to pause the tape as she though she was having a heart attack......:-).....needless to say my mother survived the movie......I think that is one of the things that keeps us coming back movie after movie is the intensity of each "Die Hard" movie.....and, of course, who does not like Bruce Willis?

Just after we got back on I-95 to drive home I saw a sign advertising the "Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum" just a couple of exits down, so I turned to TLE and said....."let's get off here and take a look...what do you say?"  She said...."yeah!", so we exited and found ourselves walking into this cool museum essentially dedicated to the B-17 Flying Fortress that really formed the backbone of the U.S. and Allied bombing efforts in WW2.  I have always wanted to see one of these babies up close.  The damage these planes could sustain and still remain airborne was and is still amazing.

It wasn't as big as I had imagined, but these planes were built like flying tanks.  Since we got there pretty late in the day....just before 4 pm we didn't have long before closing at 5, but we can go back today using the same tickets we bought yesterday.  There is a lot to see in this museum, and I could easily see us spending several more hours there.  This plane is currently undergoing a complete restoration, which is why you see the front, and some of the rear pieces missing.

We hit the Kroger supermarket on the way home for some fresh vegetables to eat with the chicken we were going to BBQ that night and then headed for home.  While I burned the meat TLE prepared some sauteed vegetables, and steamed rice.....yummy, yummy, yummy!  What a great way to end a very fun day.

Thanks for stopping by!
