A Movie Under the Stars

One of my favorite summertime activities is the Drive-In!  So, with a few prayers for continued good weather, Tim & I headed to our local drive-in for the Toy Story 3/Prince of Persia double-feature!

We decided to try something new and make a comfy blanket and pillow oasis in our trunk/backseat area...

It worked REALLY well!  

Tim cooked up some popcorn for us at home and then proceeded to eat most of it before the movie even started...

 I took this picture at 8:30pm...we still had around an hour before the first movie even started, but what a good place to sit! :-)

 Of course, once the show got started, the harvest moon was in our line of sight the entire time, and boy, was it bright! (My camera didn't take the best picture, but see that bright spot just right of the screen...)

And finally, we had to get ice cream between the shows...at midnight! 

Now a little plea...

The drive-in where Tim and I used to go on dates in S. Everett was recently purchased and torn down to make room for a new hospital.  While I think hospitals are great, another piece of American nostalgia no longer exists.  Did you know that there are only 7 remaining drive-ins in the state of Washington?  Did you know there used to be over 45 of these theaters in the Puget Sound area? If you've never gone, please do.  If you have gone and you enjoyed it, go again!  Visit www.driveins.com for a list of theaters, links to the drive-in websites and movie listings .  And if you're interested, read this article from the Seattle Times about the theaters left in the state.
