Image
Not a fan of intergalactic type films, I went to the advance screening for Guardians of the Galaxy. This is the latest installement of the Marvel comics and it opens in theaters on August 1. Here is the official boilerplate for the film: From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax th...

All opinions expressed are my own In the spirit of celebration, I was about to cross something off my bucket list.  For the longest time I have been wanting to volunteer to help turtle hatchlings reach the water.  Despite all the years we have been living in Florida, I have not done it, and decided this was the summer for it. We were taking a road trip a bit north for some beach time and I guess a nature lesson for all of us.   Preparations for our trip called for our first #CelebrateConBritax:  I graduated my little man from his Britax AdvocateCarseat  to the Britax Pinnacle booster seat .   Oh yes, he was in heaven and feeling like such a big boy.  It was adorable to watch.  All the while, observing  her brother’s joy and our celebration from her Britax Highway car seat ...
