Google has this very fun Doodle video today marking the 79th anniversary of the first drive-in movie. My favorite part is when the kids pop up out of the bed of the truck.
That was Ray and me a few weeks ago.
We rambled into the Starlite Drive-In in Amelia with his blue Ranger packed with blankets, chairs, bug spray and provisions. (Milk Duds, caramel creams and water.)
It's as if we are still underage. But mostly we wanted to save ourselves for a giant fountain pop and large popcorn.
We even bought a little transistor radio for the occasion. (Somehow neither of us owned a battery powered radio; this was a surprise to me as I thought everything had a battery option. In fact, nothing does.)
Ray claims I tried to swipe it on and off like an iPhone to get it to work, but that is pure hearsay.
Men in Black III and Dark Shadows was showing, but the real star of the night was the full moon and the snack bar.
You should go. Take the kids, or not. We thought it was pretty romantic.
