Cindy was still feeling sick today, so we decided to skip the Phantom Gourmet BBQ Contest at Suffolk Downs. Instead we went to Olive Garden for lunch and then drove cross town to the Jordan Furniture IMAX theater to see Transformers 2: Rise of the Fallen. Needless to say we were both pumped to see this in IMAX. When we started out, Cindy asked me if I wanted to try to buy tickets online (on the iPhone) before we got there. I told her "No, I'm sure they won't be sold out for a 2:00 showing."
So, we arrived there and we're both excited and everything, and then as we got up to the door, I saw the worse poster possible...
So, after I ate some crow pie, we decided we might as well go in and check out the mall. Neither of us had been there before, and it turns out it was very kid oriented. There was a giant animatronic Wally (the Red Sox mascot) eating a New York Yankee...
and a water fountain that had changing light and water patterns to mesmerize the kids...
and a "trapeze school" for the adults who wanted to get on a trapeze for 2 minutes and get their picture taken...
After taking in the sights at Jordan Furniture, we headed back across town to the theater we normally frequent - with Cindy buying tickets online this time. The movie was... a Michael Bay movie. Unencumbered by character development, it made up for it's theatrical shortcomings by having lots of robots, explosions, and Megan Fox. Also, Linkin Park's new song is feature in the sound track as well. Cindy and I both liked the movie (although I'm probably more critical of the movie's theatrical shortcomings than she is).
After the movie, we headed back to the hotel. Apparently the mystery fog bank that had enveloped downtown Boston while the suburbs enjoyed sunshine had decided it was time to move south and drown Quincy as well. Thus ended our day...
