Delayed 15 Anniversary Weekend Has Begun

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00977

The pandemic delayed our 15th anniversary plans by a year. Allison and I had plans last year at this time to go and see Gabriel Iglesias at Foxwoods. Gabriel is one of our favorite comedians and I saw that he was coming to Foxwoods close to our 15th anniversary (well within a couple months, so, close enough). I had also received a gift card from Nintendo for a campaign I had done around Ring Fit Adventure. The gift card was for any spa that I wanted so I looked up the spa at Foxwoods and had them get me a card for that spa. But before we get to the adventure ahead we had to drop the kids off with my parents for the weekend so that we could have a kid free weekend away.

We drove the kids down to the Cape this morning and then we headed home with the intention of having lunch at Evelyn’s Drive In. I like to get there every couple of years or so to get a seafood platter because their fried food is incredible. Also, it is right on the water so the view is excellent as well. We stopped in and got a couple of cups of chowder and a seafood platter. Everything was cooked to perfection. It is also a place that has both New England Clam Chowder and Rhode Island Clam Chowder so both Allison and I were happy with our favorites.

We got home and then went out to see the new Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings. I have been looking forward to seeing this for a long time and was really happy with what I saw. It was a fun movie and I cannot wait to see it again with Eva. We saw her best friend there and she was sworn to not provide and spoilers to Eva.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
