The Book of Life

 Marina has wanted to see the movie The Book of Life since before it opened in theaters. October has been pretty busy for us so we finally were able to see it today, the first day of Marina's fall break.

Our friend Chantel had the day off from work, so we invited her along. We decided to see the movie at a theater where we could eat lunch as we watched. Marina brought her Anna doll along.

When we arrived at the theater we discovered it had undergone a renovation. The seats were much more comfortable and the view of the screen was better too. Marina and I ordered our favorite food and we settled in to watch the movie.

The storyline was based on Mexican mythology, something I don't know much about. Ultimately it was about family, love and good versus evil. The story revolved around the Day of the Dead holiday which is just a few days after Halloween. So we learned something about Mexican history and culture as well. We all enjoyed it.
