More Boomer Memories--The Drive-In
It was only a matter of time before we'd try to replicate a sacred teenage ritual--going to the drive-in. Of course in my day it meant one or two or three couples in a car---either planning to drink ourselves sick (if we were a crowd) or well..you know...in the back seat. Hell--even in the front seat since so few cars had bucket seats back then. I even remember being taken to the drive in as a kid--my parents in the front watching the movie and me in the back in pajamas and all the popcorn I could eat.
 Apparently the drive-in theatre is enjoying a resurgence, albeit a G-rated one. According to an article on nbc4.com, 20 new drive-ins have opened across the country in the last year. Maybe whole new generations can enjoy that odd feeling of being part of a crowd except not really; watching a movie...kinda; understanding every third word through the speakers; and finding new and interesting ways to get a knee over the stick shift without maiming oneself.
Find a drive in movie near you and relive the magic.

In the spirit of childhood my husband and I went to the drive-in a few weeks ago. It was a hoot! We are lucky enough to have three to choose from that are within an hour driving distance.
We brought blankets and pillows and sprawled out in the grass. I even got a Super Rope. Reliving childhood activities really does something wonderful for your spririt!!
