Captain America @ The Great Park

This past Saturday D and I had date night to watch Captain America at The Great Park.  In preparation for watching The Avengers, we have watched Ironman, Thor, and now Captain America.  I believe the park has hosted summer movies for the past couple of years, but this was our first time, so we did not know what to expect.  The website said the movie started at “dusk” which I was not sure about.  Turns out it was about 8:20 p.m.  Since the movie was two hours, this put us way past our regular bedtime, but it was a lot of fun and I would do it again.
We brought takeout from Zon Baguettes.  We haven’t been there in a while, but I think they changed owners (they are also expanding into the space next door).  I thought the grilled chicken sandwiches were better than before (more veggies, less weird mayo).  The spring rolls were also really good (with peanut sauce, since the kids weren’t with us) and the Vietnamese iced coffee was strong!  We arrived at 5:30 p.m., and there were only a few people there.  We set up our Tommy Bahama chairs in the back of the first section. 

The screen is inflatable.  We watched them set it up.



There were signs that said that the middle front section is reserved for those on blankets and low-backed chairs.
    
I guess someone did not get the memo.
