Today my sister and I got up early to drive down to metro Detroit, which is about 1.5 hours from where we live. Yesterday my brother asked if we wanted to go see "The Dark Knight" at the IMAX before we were take him to the airport. My sister of course agreed to this plan since she had been wanting to see it at the IMAX. This is the brother she is in competition with. So we had to be to his house by 11:00 so we could make the 12:00 showing. We hit a bunch of construction along the way and ended up being about 20 minutes behind scheduled. After that we packed up his luggage we headed for the movie. We got there with about 10 minutes to spare. For some reason I thought the IMAX screens were like way bigger. They are bigger than the normal screen, but I was expecting something way, way bigger. The movie was awesome. It was my 3rd time viewing it, my sister's 7th, and my brother's 5th. After that we went and got some lunch. And since we still had time to kill we went to our favorite Barnes and Nobles store in Rochester Hills. I love their used book section. After that it was about 4:00 pm so we decided to head for the airport so that my brother would have plenty of time to get through security, etc. We got him there a bit past 5:00 pm. We went in with him since he wasn't sure where to check his bag, since its been 2 years since he last flew. After that we said goodbye and headed home. While driving home it started pouring. It was pretty scary because visibility was quite low and there was quite a bit of water on the road. I hate driving in rain like that, but we made it home without any problems. When we got home, we had a message from our mom that our brother's plane was delayed by 1.5 hours and he wanted us to check the weather on the Internet since he had seen something on the TV at the airport about flooding in Arizona. As of right now, he is onboard the plane over Iowa. We probably won't hear from him until tomorrow since I'm sure he will be quite tired and exhaused when he lands. Luckily he has a hotel reserved by the airport for tonight so he won't have to go very far once he gets to Phoenix. I keep checking the Internet to see where his plane is. I think my sister is getting annoyed with my updates every 5 minutes. LOL
Next weekend we are going to Chicago with our sister-in-law for two days. Should be fun. Today while watching "The Dark Knight" we found some other clues to figure out where they filmed the truck scene. Its not too far from where our hotel is, so I think I'll let my sister go find it so she can say she was where Christian Bale was. LOL She's insane, but I still like her. :)
That's all for now. Must go check on my brother's flight! :) Until tomorrow.
