Snow, snow, snow!

Arrived safely today and there is snow everywhere — and it is still coming down!

Spent our first day as we always do: picked up our tickets at Gateway, went shopping at the Film Festival store, grabbed some groceries at Fresh Market and settled in at the condo to watch some Law & Order before the film frenzy begins tomorrow.

Condo is really nice – really too much room for just the two of us. It’s a 2 Bdm / 2 Ba and James has almost killed himself walking down from the bedroom in the loft. Sigh.

We don’t have any tickets for tomorrow’s films, but we’re going to try to Waitlist two or three films. I’ll let you know how things go!

Oh, by the way…at Gateway, I saw Nolan Gould of Modern Family!
