Date night first

It is almost embarrassing to admit but in the 2+ years of living in France, I have never been to the movie theater! Back in the states I really enjoy going to the movies. I know it's expensive but the experience of seeing it on the big screen with a fountain diet coke and movie theater popcorn is the best!!!

Not long ago someone told us that the movie theater in our town plays the original version of some movies once or twice a week. We decided to look into it and quickly discovered that "The Butler" was playing and we decided to end this drought!

The movie was shown on a Monday night at 10:05p.m. That's rough when I had to wake up at 5:45a.m. the following morning, but I was up for the challenge!
We decided to go for a little stroll on our way to the theater.

The lady selling tickets was super friendly and had to tell us all about her daughters spending time in the US over the summer and how much they loved it (don't blame them)!

After browsing the small selection of snacks and refreshments (which does NOT include even a tenth of the selection in an average American theater), Our theater was open so we made our way in.

James and I were placing bets as to whether we would have the entire theater to ourselves. We ended up being 2 of the 4 people in attendance for the movie! I wanted to high 5 the others as it felt like we had some connection by being there watching a movie in English!
Here we are all settled in and ready to enjoy!

We both enjoyed the movie and it ended up having subtitles too, which was helpful for James as some of the accents were quite strong.
I hope to be able to have a date night like this again sometime soon!
