movietickets.com, Pho Duy

Yesterday, I got an email from www.movietickets.com asking if I and up to four of my guests (between the ages of 15 and 54) would like to go see an advance showing of "Country Strong," starring Gwyneth Paltrow.  Of course I like to see free movies.  My husband had no interest in seeing a romantic movie about country music, so he stayed home to put Spencer to bed and a friend joined me for the show.  When we got there, they had just given away the last 2 seats.  We were disappointed until they then gave us 2 free admission passes to anything showing in the theater, other than 3-D features.  We hurried down the hall and watched "The Kids are Alright."  I really liked it - I'd definitely recommend it.  Very smart, very funny.

We were hungry afterwards, so we stopped at Pho Duy.  Great Vietnamese eggrolls, and delicious pho.  The noodle bowls are tasty too.  We didn't realize that they were about to close, but with 2 minutes until closing time, they still seated us and served us a full meal.  Really nice people, and tasty food.  The large noodle bowl is only a little more expensive than the small bowl, and easily feeds two or more people.  (For example, you, your husband who is at home waiting for your leftovers, and your toddler who loves soup.)  I'm grateful to have had such a fun and relaxing day.
