Mare Island Outdoor Movie

The developer Lennar Mare Island has a very nice way of attracting customers . They invited everybody in Vallejo to watch Shrek2 under the evening sky for free, with free popcorn and cookies.

So my family after driving from Davis prepared to watch the 8:30 movie. We brought with us 2 blankets, chips and guacamole, orange juice for the kids, and a bottle of blushed wine.

Arriving at the Morton Field, we walked to the information booth for " free for all" popcorn, toys and other goodies .

The people were already in their mats in front of a giant screen showing Elmer trying to catch Bugs Bunny.

The audience was composed of young families from the Vallejo area, residents of Mare Island and some scattered groups of decent looking youngsters insensitive to the cold night air.

The movie Shrek2 played and laughter can be heard from beginning to end. After the movie, people were very conscious of cleanliness gathering all their trash, folded their blankets and headed home.

And after looking at the decent crowd, the friendly people, you would want to consider living in the island (except for that incident where my friend had an encounter with a Mare Island Golf Club Employee.)


It was a beautiful night.
