When was the last time you did this?
Posted On: 07/02/2007 21:27:40
This past weekend, I did something I haven't done in over 30 years. I went to a drive-in! 30 years ago, I saw Young Frankenstein in a yellow Roadrunner in Clarkston, Michigan. This past Saturday, it was a triple feature in Baltimore, MD: Surfs Up, Evan Almighty and Oceans 13. I'd known for years there was a drive-in in near where I lived, but it was on the other side of town. I always said "someday..." Well, someday came Saturday.

Bengie's has a great playground beneath the screen (which their web site boasts is the largest in the US) and a fabulous untouched-by-time concession stand. Best of all (for me) is that they allow dogs! We enjoyed a fabulous sunset while we waited for the show to begin, and after it did a full moon shined down on us from overhead. Didn't get home until the wee hours of the morning after three films, but Greta and I will definitely be going back again soon!

What a wonderful step back in time. If you have a drive-in near you, ENJOY IT!

We moved out to the boonies about 12 years ago and they have a drive in near by. I have been a few times. but like Vegaspeach, I just can't seem to stay awake that late anymore, lol!
We tried to do it later in the year, when they can start the movies earlier, but it was kind of cold.
We still intend to go back, but I think I will have to take a nap first.

Yeah, Deb...sounds good to me, too.
We could sit outside on the car
under the stars.
Or would you 'n' Steve be inside the car
foggin' up the windows?
