My big day out today was lunch at Panera Bread and driving downtown to see the movie, Away We Go. I'm trying to get out and enjoy the activities I enjoy that may be limited right after having a baby. So, I successfully navigated around the Farmer's Market, pedestrians, bicyclists, eventually found street parking and waddled several blocks to this theatre I'd never been to before. The cars were pretty good about not trying to run me over, which was kind.

This is a quiet, small film about a couple in their early thirties. They are expecting their first child and realize they are rootless and visit several places to see where they should settle down to start their family. Along the way they meet a variety of dysfunctional characters and crazy parents that make them realize how lucky they are to have each other...even if they don't have it all figured out. One of my fav lines was an ultra new age mom who freaks out that the couple gifted her with a stroller, she proclaims, "I love my kids, why would I want to push them away from me?"

I loved it! I wish I had seen it with Alex, but I thought I'd spare him one more chic flick. It made me feel grateful that we have more familial support than the couple in the movie!
