Drive-In Theaters

Last night we went to the drive-in for the second time this summer season. We usually can only go on a 3 day weekend because hubby has to work Saturday and/or Sunday mornings, so we usually go Sunday nights if we have Mondays off. We had our vacation this week, and we really wanted to see Up and Land of the Lost. We probably shouldn't have gone, you know, with all our money issues and whatnot. Oh well.

Both movies were pretty good, although I was a bit disappointed with Land of the Lost. Will Ferrell is hilarious, but I thought it would be funnier. Maybe I missed a lot of the dialogue because I was dealing with the children, and I was focused on not getting bitten by mosquitoes, but what did you think (if you saw it yet)?

I hear people talk all the time about how Drive-ins are losing popularity, but they're starting to make a comeback. We have a couple of drive-ins within an hour of each other, so that's nice. I like that you get two movies for less than the price of one at a regular theater, even if you have to wait a couple of weeks from the release date. We always bring snacks in the trunk so as to not waste so much money on concession stand food, but of course they play advertisements over the speakers and they make it sound.so.good! So, we end up eating a bit from there anyway. I have no strong will, I tell ya!

Do you have drive-ins in your area? Do you still go? Last night I was reminiscing about the few times we went to a drive-in (because it is really late by the time you get home if you watch 2 movies) and it really took me back.

Oh well, we're at the library right now and I'm taking full advantage of their free WiFi service! I could seriously live at the library and maybe I can get rid of my phone now...who needs to pay for phone service and internet when we have cell phones and we get free internet?! :-) Off to scout for good grocery deals and start thinking of my next unit for my class...I'm thinking seriously about doing camping...how fun would that be?!
