First, WALL-E is awesome. I made Evan go see WALL-E with me on the first day the movie came out. I read some very good reviews before we went. I was still amazed at how well done and how much fun the movie was. We walked out of the movie completely in love with WALL-E.
The next weekend, I insist that we go again. I know... A bit much. But I really loved the movie. WALL-E made me think about love, relationship, excess consumerism, global warming... the usual big stuff. After I watched WALL-E, I feel so lucky to have Evan to hold hands with every day. And to have him by my side and be my companion.
I recommend that everyone go see WALL-E. No one will be disapointed.

She Kicks
I felt it. I'm pretty sure I did. When I lied down for bed last night, I felt a strange bubble in the lower abdomin. The bubble moved from the right to the left side of my stomach. I knew, I have been expecting it. My little girl is moving inside me. Now that I'm aware of it, she kept me up late, way past my normal bed time. And I'm pretty sure that her little movement woke me at 5 in the morning. Not something I do. Well, I guess this is just another part of my life that have and will change with having a baby.

Martha's Vineyard
[album=8,compact]
All the pregnancy guide books and website recommend that a romantic getaway is a perfect escape during the 2nd trimester. Since we always took a summer vacation, we weren't going to skip it this year. However, we didn't want to spend too much money nor fly anywhere. So we picked Martha's Vineyard. It's closed enough that we can drive to and far enough to feel that we were away.
The drive from our house to Woods Hole ferry took about 5 hours because we stopped at Mystic, CT. I wanted to stop at Mystic Pizza to get a slice of heaven. Yes, it was from the cheesy Julia Robert movie. Mystic was very cute, the pizza was nothing special. Many NY pizzas I had were better.
We decide not to take our car to Martha's Vineyard since most of the tour guides I read said that it's not necessary if we were not going to stay on the island for too many days. And our Bed & Breakfast was only only about 200 yards away from the ferry dock. So, we went car-less.
The B&B (Capricorn House) was very nice. It was right across the street from the town beach at Oaks Bluff. Our room and balcony had the best view of the ocean. The B&B was very clean, comfortable, and definitely very romantic. However, the room didn't have our usual distractions, no TV and no Internet. We actually spent time together without interruption. We even spent time reading our books.
We rented a moped to see the island. The moped was a simple machine, but it was regulated to go no faster than 30 mph on flat ground. It barely hits 10 mph going up a hill. We actually reached 60 mph on a long and steep hill. Evan called it the death-trap. He didn't like the fact that every vehicle on the road passed us. Stopping and going were unsteady. Evan did not like the thing. Instead of recreating scenes from the Roman Holiday, we looked more like the scenes from Dumb and Dumber.
