Topic: Making Memories: Transformers 3

I took my son and two of his friends to the midnight "grand opening" of Transformers 3 last night. We got home at 3 am. Boy am I tired as I prepare for work while the teens sleep. But this kind of thing has become a tradition with us and hopefully will be remembered fondly by the boys. One of the greatest gifts we have (as parents, as humans) is to make memories. Tired or not, I would do it again in a minute (or tonight).

By the way, these movies are known for their light plot, heavy reliance on special effects, and a little skin (to entice the teen boys) and this movie didn't deviate from this formula. However I think it was the best of the three Transformers movies. But if you go, keep your expectations low.

Re: Making Memories: Transformers 3

We do something similar, though not midnight movies.  We do camping and river trips and hikes and visits to historic places and that sort of thing.  I never got the chance to travel when I was young, and now that I have the opportunity, we take it.  My wife also enjoys travel, and the kids are learning.
