In uniform

Friday was a rainy day, so we had a lazy morning and then drove to Marquette to see a movie. Problem: we hadn't looked carefully enough at the online map, and couldn't find the movie theater! We stopped and asked for directions twice; the first time, we went the right way but turned around before we got there because we thought it must be wrong. The second time we tried it again, went further, and found it! We ran inside, bought our tickets and popcorn (since we hadn't had lunch yet!) and made it into the theater just before the previews ended!

The movie was "Jersey Boys". My parents had been to see a live production of the show in St. Louis last year, but I had missed it - so I knew almost nothing about it going in. I just knew the music was going to be good. And I was right! It's kind of a strange story in places, partly because it's telling about real-life people, but also partly because they can't include everything from the peoples' lives, and some of the cutting-and-pasting of events was kind of abrupt and hard to connect mentally. Still, it was great music, and the final number during the credits was fantastic!

Saturday I had to work again, but I met Mom and Dad for breakfast at Hardees first. They were going to be leaving later that day, but I saw them one more time - when they came to Miner's Castle to see me at work! We took the opportunity to get a couple of photos of me in uniform. So this is me behind the desk at the visitor center!
