Back to the Drive-In

The Redwood Drive-In is open again!  Marilyn and I have been promising to take Sean for weeks and we finally made good on our promise last night.  We picked a good night for it because one of the double features was Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Footloose.  Seeing these movies on the big screen made me feel like I was back in high school again and it was so much fun.  Marilyn and I quoted almost every line from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and I remembered every word of every song from Footloose (my favorite number is "Let's Hear It for the Boy" when Ren teaches Willard how to dance).  I don't know if Sean enjoyed the movies as much as Marilyn and I did but I know he likes going with us because we get him pizza, popcorn, and all the movie candy that he wants plus he gets our undivided attention!  The Redwood has several safety measures in place for Covid-19, including having cars park in every other space, and they have employees in masks walking around to enforce these rules.  It felt really good to do something normal again (we have a tradition of going to the drive-in every summer) and I recommend planning a visit this summer because there are several new releases coming soon.  Go here for more information about movies and showtimes.

Note:  Megaplex Theatres are opening up next week and I am so excited!  I already have a ticket for Singin' in the Rain!
