Good movies

We both really enjoyed our double feature yesterday of Downsizing and Jumanji, but we agreed that Jumanji was the better one.  Downsizing was good, but it didn't quite go the way we thought it would and ended rather abruptly.  Jumanji was just a ton of fun.

Then we had our Chinese food dinner, which we had both been looking forward to very much.  It did not disappoint.  After dinner, we watched the new Dr. Who Christmas Special and saw the current doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, regenerate into a WOMAN!  This is the first time since the show premiered in 1963 that the Doctor has been a woman, although his nemesis, The Master, has been a woman before so there was that precedent.  Great show!

Today I just went out for a little shopping and to mail out some birthday packages for the sisters-in-law whose birthdays are the first week of January while we are on our cruise.

This evening we are going out to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes with Susie and Ed and then to the Dr. Phillips Center to see School of Rock.  That should be a lot of fun, too.

Here are some more pictures from the last few days.

After we checked out of Old Key West, we went to Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Every year we go see the Grinchmas show.

Then we wandered over to see the Hogwarts area and its decorations, although they are mostly at night.

Visiting Zulu, the resident Velociraptor in Jurassic Park, was something new for us.

She moves a lot and was actually kind of scary.

For the first time ever, we had lunch at Blondie's where they specialize in Dagwood sandwiches.

Our timing was also perfect to meet Olive Oyl, Popeye, and Betty Boop.  Betty was adorable and liked my nails.

Saturday we went to SeaWorld and ate lunch for free with our Passholder Meal Deal.  That was our last time since the deal is over at the end of the year.

We came here to see the holiday shows.  The first one was the Sesame Street  characters show in the Pets Ahoy theater.

Inside are lots of rays, sharks, and fish.  We always enjoy looking at them.

The dolphins were being cute today.

"Look at me.  I'm doing all my tricks just in case you might throw me a fish!"

I spent a lot of time petting the rays.  So soft.

The sea lions were barking for fish!

Clyde and Seymour have a holiday show, too.

Loved the otter!

Giant walrus always shocks everyone when he comes out.

Shamu holiday show is always beautiful.

Then we went to the ice skating show.

On the way out we watched the Christmas tree show along the lake, where the trees change color with the music.

We decided that SeaWorld does the best snow of all the theme parks.
