Free Summer Movies

Kyndal and I went to see Bee Movie today. It was a free movie at Regal Cinema's. It is a neat program that they run during the summer. Click here for info. Kyndal loved it. She sat in her own seat the whole time, they even have little movie theater booster seats. She ate popcorn and laughed at the movie. Popcorn and drinks were only a dollar each.

Stepping on soapbox now..... So our free movie in reality costed us almost $10 plus the cost of the coke and popcorn. It is 26 miles each way to the theater and with the cost of gas being almost $4 a gallon and our car getting only around 22 miles/gallon, our free movie cost us quite a bit more. Yes still a good deal for a movie and it was fun, but come on I feel like we are being robbed spending almost $500/month on gas for both vehicles.

Great tip. Lilly Kate has never been to the theatre. Maybe we will give it a try this summer.

I hear you on the gas prices. Josh (aka Mr. Money) has calculated how much it cost to drive to various places around the city. Needless to say, I am making fewer trips to Mboro and trying to get more errands done in one visit. I guess we should be thankful that we can afford to fill up our cars and still have some left over. Tough times for many people :-(.
