Day Off

Marina had the day off for President’s Day, so we planned to spend today together. I asked Marina what she wanted to do. She wanted to see the movie Escape From Planet Earth. I hadn’t even heard of it, but since we didn’t have any other plans we decided to do it.

We got to the theater later than we planned and there was a huge line for tickets. So we quickly changed plans and bought tickets for a later show. Since we had extra time, we had an early lunch. We went to Tokyo Joe’s which was right next to the theater. At first Marina ordered macaroni and cheese, but I convinced her to try the chicken teriyaki. She even attempted to use chopsticks! The chopsticks were a bit too much, but she did enjoy the food.

After lunch we headed back to the movie theater. It wasn’t nearly as crowded. We were early, so we got a good seat. The movie was cute – Marina really enjoyed it.

For dinner, we went to Old Chicago. It is her teacher’s favorite restaurant and Marina wanted to try it. She’s never liked pizza much, but she ordered one anyway. Turns out, she liked it.

We went home and watched Disney’s Robin Hood together. It was a fun day even without a plan!
