daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
We arrived in Las Vegas and met up with our extended family. With friends included, there were about 150 of us. It was great to catch up with old family members and meet new ones. There’s always someone new to learn about.
I didn’t take many photos this trip, but I didn’t mind. I was just happy to be there and enjoy the company of my family. 😁
We’re flying to Las Vegas tomorrow to attend a family reunions, so I prepared some sandwiches for us to enjoy on the plane. They are just ham, cheese, lettuce, and avocado… nothing that should be offensive to others’ sense of smell, although I did joke that I should put some kimchee in the bag as well. 😀
We went to a potluck party and enjoyed some yummy food and drinks. I particularly liked the designs on these two, both from Niigata. The napping bear is so great.
Today I re-watched “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” since I hadn’t seen it since it came out in theaters way back in 2008. I enjoyed it then, and was curious if I would still feel the same way. And yes, I think it’s a fun movie! I was surprised that I found Mutt Williams kind of an interesting character and Shia Labeouf did a pretty good job playing him.
What was kind of neat is that after seeing Harrison Ford in Dial of Destiny, he looked so young in Crystal Skull! I need to re-watch Temple of Doom now, and then I will be able to rate the Indy films from best to worst (for my own curiosity).
Today we saw “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny“. It was so fun! I’ve enjoyed all the Indy movies, and this one didn’t stray from the tried-and-true formula. The car chases were great, and I loved the sound effects. They were very “Indy-esque”!
As you can see in today’s blurry photo, I got a big bowl of “bottomless” popcorn. I usually finish the first, and eat about half of the second bowl, but today I just had the single. I even had my re-order paper ready to go, but I was just too full!
