a new family fave!

two weeks ago we took taylor and zachary to the drive-in movies to see cars 2. this was on our summer list.

i hadn't been to the drive-in movies since high school. when i told my mom that, she laughed and said "me too!" ha!! we packed a goody bag with popcorn, sour patch kids, and bottles of water. we all had a nice time and thanks to tips on yelp.com, we didn't damage our car on the pothole riddled pavement!

next time we will arrive earlier so we don't have to wait so long to get in. to make matters worse, we picked the slowest line and then when we were almost there, one of the cars in our lane overheated. bummer! apparently people at the drive-ins don't listen to the kaiser radio ad promoting random acts of kindness and their link to happiness and health, because based on my experience no one at the drive-in will willingly let you cut in front of them. another bummer!

our family will definitely be going back to the drive-ins. not sure when we'll take ben along with us. ben's crazy meter shoots off the charts after 7:00 pm. the drive-ins provided us with some fun, family-friendly, and inexpensive entertainment. if you haven't been to a drive in since high school, go!

have you ever been to a drive-in movie? 
when did you last go?

hmmmmmm last drivein was in the early 1980's with Linda, Erinn, Julie and Brandon. Gee that seems so long ago. It was a relatively new complex then ... I don't recall potholes, just a long hike to the snackbar.
