Halloween!

I know these are a bit late, but I wanted to share some pics of Halloween '11. We continued our tradition of going up to Cart Cart and Nonna's to trick or treat.  This year, Ann went as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Sam went as Superman.  We had a great time!

Boston

We were lucky to have a few days in Boston together (I cashed in some skymiles and joined Ash on the tail end of her biz trip), and we had a great time:

The Skyline - we stayed at the Intercontinental (Thanks CDC!)

We saw really old cemeteries...

really old court houses....

Paul Revere statues...

and we walked the entire Freedom Trail!

While Ash was working one of the days (she was there for business after all), I took a detour over to Fenway Park.

... and took a tour - this is from the press box...

and this is sitting on the green monster...

Parkarazzi

Atlanta has been a great place to film movies for a while and as the engineering company in my building moved out, there were about 3 floors that became available in the office park where I work.  Two film production offices from Hollywood moved on in - the movies are being shot here and are in pre-production.

One is Neighborhood Watch starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn among others - directed by Akiva Schaffer (of Lonely Island fame).  And the other is Parental Guidance with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler.

Showcasing my TMZ-worthy paparazzi stylings (iPhone camera from my 4th floor window overlooking the parking lot), I snapped a few shots of the only stars I've seen - Vince Vaughn and the aforementioned Akiva Schaffer.  A lot of Cadillac Escalades and wardrobe trucks around, as well as some co-worker elevator rides with Ben Stiller.  No signs of Bette Midler yet.
