When my Mom called a few days ago to ask me a question, the last thing I expected was to get free passes to a press screening of How To Train Your Dragon, but that's what happened. We didn't think we could make it, though, because Andrew had already started back at work. Since the run wasn't in full swing yet, Andrew's boss, Ryan, let him leave a little early so he could attend. We invited our friends, Varoujan and Allison, to use our two additional passes.
How To Train Your Dragon revolves around Hiccup, a misfit viking living on the island of Berk where fighting dragons is just what you do. I have to admit the story is a bit predictable and left me with some unanswered questions, but the stunning visuals more than make up for that. The movement in Stoick the Vast's beard was mesmerizing, and I was glued to the screen during the dragon flight scenes. All in all, it was the most fun I'd had at the movies in a long time.
We then walked over to Umami Burger down the street for dinner. Andrew ordered the Umami Burger, and I got the vegetarian version. Andrew's burger was nice and pink inside, just the way he likes it. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were delicious, too. I'll definitely go back.
