Day four was a "take it easy" day. As usual, I went on my run in the morning after breakfast on the lanai. For lunch, Karen made us bacon, eggs and salad (again, very delicious; I think she is one of the most amazing cooks I've ever met).
We had plans for a movie and dinner (as Marty and I kept saying) with Marty & Karen. The theatre is over at Lakeside Village, which is a shopping area about a 20 minute walk from Grasslands. Jeremy and I headed over there around 2:30. It was another beautiful afternoon and we both enjoyed the walk over to Lakeside Village.
Karen had given me a coupon for Bed, Bath & Beyond (Jeremy and I have lovingly started calling this place "Bloodbath & Beyond" or "Bitch, Bath & Beyond") and we went in there to have a look around. Despite our interesting names for the place, we actually found a lot of cool stuff in there and since we're getting married and probably buying a house soon, we're thinking of actually registering there for gifts. I picked up a few things there, including a coffee grinder, new measuring cups, and a garlic press. We also checked out Books-A-Million and Gamestop.
We met Marty & Karen for the movie around 4:30. We went to see Valkyrie, which was AWESOME! It was one of the best movies I saw in 2008 and one of the few movies I've seen in a long time that I actually want to go back and see again. I'm a history buff, especially when it comes to World War 2, so this is probably why I enjoyed the movie so much. The movie was also one of those "edge-of-your-seat" thrillers and the acting was all phenomenal. I was particularly impressed with Tom Cruise, who I am not a huge fan of. He was amazing as Col. Staufenburg though, and looks very eerily like him.
After the movie, we went to dinner with Marty & Karen, called Fish City. Jeremy had grilled chicken, Karen had a blackened chicken salad, Marty had BBQ chicken and I had a salad with coconut shrimp, which was delicious!
We ended the day with our usual walk around Grasslands in the evening. It was another great day...

Do you usually run in the morning, or was that a Florida thing?
Oh, and I like how your dinner at Fish City was all about the chicken :)
During the summer, I sometimes go out for a morning run. I was also taking advantage of the weather in Florida and decided to get my cardio taken care of in the morning (here I have to do my cardio inside using a workout DVD). Once the spring rolls around here, I'm going to try and go out for a run in the morning or evening.
Yeah, dinner at Fish City made me laugh too; I was the only one that actually ordered something from the ocean (Coconut shrimp!).
