It was apparent we were rookies when all the veterans set up chairs in their truck beds to take advantage of the night breeze. Sitting inside our car armed with a tub of popcorn, candy and Root Beer, we were anxious to see the newest Batman flick. It was such fun watching the movie on a 40' x 80' screen under the open sky, and I can't wait to do it again on another dark night...especially come Fall!

what fun!!! the next step is having a dozen people in a van but only paying for the driver/passenger (because everyone else would be on the floor!)--something my girlfriends and I would do in high school days :)
Ohhh...that looks super fun! I haven't been to the drive-in in years!
Paloma,
My family and I have been going to the Showboat for a couple of years. There is always a breeze and we are never bothered by mosquitos. We have 3 kids 9 & under, it is great affordable entertainment for a family & a great date night for mom & dad. They started with 1 screen & added the 2nd this year or end of last year. We always have a great time. We were there Thursday night.
WOW.. I remember the good old days of drive-ins... we have NONE nearby... sad... would love to take kids to one... FUN!
Oh man that sounds like such fun!
We used to hide two or three of us in the trunk and sneak in. The drive-in isn't there anymore....didn't make enough money...wonder why with everyone sneaking in??!!
Sounds like a fab night! I love drive-ins. We have one near us that is up and running. Too bad there were not more around like the "old days". I actually want to do a drive in party theme at our house this fall. Our driveway has a good incline and I think would be perfect for a fun night!
i still remember my first drive-in movie: ET. i fell asleep in the back seat. my last? Armageddon with my HS BF before leaving for college. good memories all around! glad you enjoyed yourself.

You guys are too cute... this looks like it was a blast and I am immediately going to check and see if there are any in KC!
What fun!
I drive past that place all the time when I go visit my friend in Spring. Someday I'll have to talk her into going to a movie with me... (She just had a baby, so I'm thinking, not any time soon.)
Yeah for you!!!! YOu made it to one!!! Good ole nostalgia!
What fun! I have yet to see a movie at a drive-in :)
How is it you've never been to a Drive in? Did you grow up in a foreign country? Oh!You're just a baby aren't you?
Hi Anon: I grew up in Southern Louisiana, right here in the USA. While I didn't go to Drive-Ins, we did great things like fishing in Grand Isle, crabbing, taking road trips to tiny towns, and picnicking/riding bikes down the hills of the Governor's Mansion. I also love that my parents taught me the importance of supporting Mom & Pop businesses. We always ate at local, non chain restaurants and shopped in small stores. I wouldn't change my childhood memories for anything!
I'm also 27 years old. I love that the blogging community knows no age limits. I read blogs written from people between 15 - 60 and I'm equally inspired by them all! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you found something inspirational as well.
