To Boldly Go...

Friday, May 15, 2009

Mark has been working a lot lately, and Sherry's been under the weather, so we had a relatively quiet week. While Ro was at school today, we walked down the block to catch the matinee of the new Star Trek prequel. For those of you who haven't seen it, we highly recommend it. Although full of wink-wink, nudge-nudge self-referential moments, they're very subtly done, so even non-Trekkies should enjoy it. The acting for the most part was very good...better than we expected going in. Leonard Nimoy even makes a cameo, but alas, no Shatner.

Since Mark has to work this weekend, Sherry went to the store to stock up on groceries (we only have one car), while Mark took Ro to Pilot Bay to burn off some energy before dinner. The sun is setting much earlier now, and the chilly air left us the only ones on the beach, but Ro didn't care as he happily dug in the sand and made a raft out of driftwood.

Ahoy, cap'n!
