We took the kids to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe this afternoon. We've all read the book, the kids and I have seen the play and we've all seen the old version of the movie. Still, we were unprepared for the level of violence shown in the PG rated flick. Nothing was left to the imagination. The stabbing of Aslan made me wince (and I've seen Natural Born Killers). So, while I thought the movie was well done, it certainly deserved a PG-13 rating. If nothing else, it would have given us a heads-up that we needed to preview and review it with our children before taking them to see it.
Today we hoofed it around The Mall. Again. I am 1 part too excited about the weather to go underground to take the Metro and 2 parts too phobic to ride the Metro as the Grown Up In Charge. The last time I was in DC, I was a whopping 17 years old and being led around by the Close Up Foundation . The biggest responsibility I had was deciding what color I wanted them to make my hair at Commander Salamander . So, we walked. And, truly we're just a few block from the Capitol. However, if you've been to DC, you know that the Capitol and, say, the Washington Monument are a smidgen apart from one another...like a mile-long smidgen. And, if you know me then you know that I am the world's number one couch potato. In fact, there are many times I don't even go all the way to the couch as it's just too far from my oh-so-comfy bed. God bless Tempur - pedic . There's a point in here. I swear. I'll get to it eventually. First, I must also explain that we had plans to meet...
