Friday night we experienced one of the coolest things we've done in a long time: We sat on the Santa Monica Pier and watched one of our favorite movies ever...Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was the best way I can think of to end a great Summer.
The movie started at dusk, so it was a race to get home from work and get changed in order to get there on time. We picked up my good friend Marni on the way, and the speeding began. (Fullerton to Santa Monica in Friday night rush hour traffic is not an easy feat). We got there just as Cameron was on the phone with Mr. Roonie, impersonating Mr. Peterson. "Pucker up butter-cup." (Random quotes throughout are courtesy of Nic) Free popcorn and water bottles were provided to all who came, which frankly, I was ecstatic about. (Besides parking, it was a completely free night...when does that EVER happen??) We set up on the pier and enjoyed the cool weather and relaxed atmosphere, laughing at all of our favorite lines. Then, per Nic's request, we ended the night at BJ's. (Mostly because I am a good wife and I like to make my husband happy)
"Bueller, Ferris Bueller"
You'd think we'd never seen the movie before...so focused.
"You are Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago?"

A tribute to another movie classic: "I wish I was Big"
This picture is mainly just for the memory. We had to stop at this video store called "Vidiots" to get the free tickets for the movie. It almost felt like a moment from "I want to exchange an egg." (Whoever gets that line will forever have my heart.)
