146/365 - Movie Day - Night at the Museum 2

The power of marketing - the Easter Island statue - today's Happy Meal Toy.

• "Dum, Dum, give me Gum, Gum"
• Slapping monkeys.
• Cameos by Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch (oh, and George Foreman, too).
• Life size Abe Lincoln
• Bobble head Einsteins (by the end of the movie, you'll know pi to 7 significant digits, too)
• A group of Bad guys from the Smithsonian vs our old friends from NYC's

Just some of elements from the newly released Night at the Museum 2 - Battle of the Smithsonian.

A fun, family friendly movie that capped our day of mulch spreading, laundry and recitals. Yes, some of it is a bit contrived, but with gorgeous views of Washington, DC and the concept of bringing famous historical characters and art to life really makes the movie enjoyable. And it makes a visit to DC an absolute necessity next summer.
