Goodbye Christopher Robin Premiere October 13th, 2017 and Giveaway

We LOVE Winnie-the-Pooh! All the bear family! Even more exciting to share this fabulous news: 

The true story about Winnie-the-Pooh! GOODBYE CHRISTOPER ROBIN, a film that takes us to post-war England and the lives of the Milne family.  A.A. Milne, an author, and veteran of The Great War suffering from PTSD becomes inspired by his son to create characters that we all know and love today.

The film’s initial opening will be Friday October 13th. 

The film explores the ways we heal, and the sometimes complicated bond between children and their parents – especially when the child shares a spotlight alongside a treasured icon.
GOODBYE CHRISTOPER ROBIN stars Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Revenant, Unbroken), Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad) and Kelly MacDonald (Brave, Nanny McPhee).  It is directed by Simon Curtis (My Week With Marilyn, Woman In Gold) and written by Simon Vaughan and Frank Cottrell Boyce (who you may or may not know wrote famous children’s book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang).

Giveaway and Review: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill Restaurant Open in Morrisville, NC

Firebirds Grill opened its newest restaurant in Morrisville, North Carolina. It is located in the Research Triangle Park area of Raleigh-Durham.  We had the opportunity to visit and want to share our Review here.  Firebirds has offered an awesome Giveaway.  One Winner will receive a $50 Gift Certificate to Firebirds so you can visit soon.  Read through for details. 

We are longtime fans of Firebirds.   So we were so eager to check out the newest locale in North Carolina.  It was a perfect evening.  Many enjoyed the outdoors.  Typically, we love being outside any chance we can get.  

Tonight, we wanted to see the new restaurant and feel the ambiance.  The stone and mountain 

decor give a warm and comfortable atmosphere. 

We loved our booth.  Fall is in the air. 

Before ordering, we checked out the Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.  The boys loved seeing the 

grilling going on.  Firebirds is known for their amazing Steaks.  Sirlon, Filet Mignon, New

York Strip and more.  We had a hard time deciding on what to order. 

Then we just relaxed like we owned the place. :)  Our boys love to draw or sketch so 

they brought along their fun.  I couldn't resist. 

Salads are a favorite of mine so I was planning to order the Grilled Shrimp 

and Strawberry Salad.  Look how delicious....

Then the Aged Ribeye caught my eye with this potato with all the fixings....  Firebirds is known 

for their varieties of Steaks.

We LOVE the Firebirds Desserts so I was figuring on how to order with room 

for dessert.  The Key Lime Pie is my favorite.  Our whole family 

can eat the Big Daddy Chocolate Cake and still not finish it.  We love the 

rich chocolates of the cake.

Between Appetizer and Entree:  See the fun atmosphere of the Park West Shopping Center.  

My sweet husband and I loved getting a little moment together before dinner.  We 

just celebrated 15 wonderful years together so I love this picture extra special.  

Our boys LOVED ordering the specialty Burgers with Steak Fries. 

My husband and I couldn't resist the Wood Grilled Salmon with Garlic 

Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Vegetables.  This meal was perfection. 

We loved the healthy and hearty entree.  This is a Gluten Free option.  They 

have a separate menu of great Gluten Free choices. 

The portions were very generous.  Everything was seasoned so wonderfully. 

Nothing overly strong.  

This sums up our boys' thoughts on the Burgers.  Bliss! 

Someone loved the Onion Rings and is being his love of Ranch Dressing. :) 

Thank you Firebirds for hosting our family.  We love your food, customer service and 

the warm and friendly atmosphere!  We will see you soon!
