"Take me to the river/put me in the water"

Oh how I love the river. Williamsburg is situated (for those of you who aren't familiar with our geography) on the upper side of the Peninsula. (Noticed I used "the" peninsula...cuz that's what it is, yo!) Virginia also have another peninsula above the Peninsula called the Northern Neck. Anyways...in Williamsburg we have several rivers including the James River, York River and the Chickahominy River. Each one meets up and eventually flows to the Chesapeake Bay and then onto the Atlantic Ocean.

This past weekend, my sister, Kristina, and I went out on her Jet Ski in the Chickahominy. We had a great time. We actually went in the James as well to see the Jamestown Ferries in action and Jamestowne Island. It was a good time.

Stephen and I watched a few movies this weekend as well. We watched "Reno 911", "Breach" and then had also rented "Letters from Iwo Jima", "Deja Vu", "Fly Boys", "TransAmerica", "Brokeback Mountain", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Life as a House".

I watched "TransAmerica" on day last week. Interesting flick. Some funny moments.

We wanted "Reno 911" on Saturday. I found it extremely hilarious, and would recommend it, but not expect everyone to find it as humorous as I did that night! It gave us some good silent laughs. You know, the ones where it's not funny enough to laugh out loud, but gives you a good chuckle!?

We watched "Breach" on Sunday afternoon. Excellent movie. Kind of a slow moving drama, but it helps that it's based on a true story. That part keeps your interest. Plus Laura Linney is a great actress. And so is that guy from "American Beauty". Ryan Phillipe...ehhh? So-so.

All in all, it was an enjoyable weekend.

And I'm going out again in my father-in-law's boat on Thursday. Do a little tubing!

Can I get a brief movie review on each movie to know whether to rent it/whether we had the same review of the movie? Thanks. :)
