One day we all gathered at my brother’s house for brunch, games, and presents. It was really nice to have the kids’ (almost) undivided attention for a Nerf battle, Chinese checkers, and Don't Bee Last (which I wasn't very good at). We also saw the beginning of Red One, the new Santa action movie (yes, you read that right).
In the evening, we went out to Everyman Theater, which shrewdly seemed to be the only company in town putting on entertainment between
the holidays. We saw an excellent production of Agatha Christie’s And Then There
Were None, a sort of “locked-room” whodunit based loosely on a fairly racist
children’s rhyme. While movies today come with lots of slick special effects, it's always exciting to see stage magic happen in person.
On the way home, Dad, Dear Husband, and I stopped by the 700 block of 34th Street in Hamden to take in the 77th year of spectacular holiday lights! The lights are on from 6pm-10pm Sunday through Thursday and until midnight on Friday and Saturday from November 30-January 1. To manage the crowds, they block off vehicular traffic and invite vendors, Santa, and caroling groups. We might have stayed longer, but it was starting to rain.
I am so happy that you had a nice visit! Hope yo see you the next time you're in Baltimore!
