My Mother-in-law, The Franklin Theater and Soul Surfer – The Trifecta!

Sometimes I’m not sure what to expect when I take my 95-year-old mother-in-law out on the town – will she like what we have planned, will we be able to help  her arrive at the destination without incident (knees don’t work like they used to for her – at 95 its ok), will I say something that will make her regret me being married to her youngest for 36 years, you know – normal stuff.

But I think we hit a home run last night with our families beginning celebration of our daughter Rachel’s birthday by taking the girls to see Soul Surfer at the newly re-modeled Franklin Theater. Wow, did the Heritage Foundation do a great job or what? Check out their website for tickets, showtimes, and concerts coming up.

I must admitted I was a little skeptical about the movie. I had heard good things but sometimes the fact that a movie has a “Christian” theme should not give it a pass on critical analysis. I was pleasantly surprised. You can’t beat the price on the Theaters movies – $5 and the place was packed – sold out for the 7:30 showing. And Mrs. Cornelius had a great time! Winning!

So, if you want a great night out and a way to celebrate your daughter’s birthday (and impress the mother-in-law) take in Soul Surfer and if you can, see it at the Franklin Theater.
