The 60's were soooo awesome!

Last night, Hilary and I went on a double date with Rachel and Michael. Michael has a 1965 Ford Galaxy convertible. It's white and it's huge and it's the most fun car ever. And it has none of the things that Cake forbids a car to have (stick shifts, safety belts, bucket seats ... they've all got to go, because when we're driving in the car, they make my baby seem so far).

We got in the '65 Ford Galaxy convertible, and went off through about 20 miles of rolling farmland, to get to the Highway 18 Outdoor Theater. We cruise on in, and since the Galaxy only has an AM radio, we used the little speaker that you can clip onto your car window. Most people at the drive-in were in lawn chairs in front of their cars. But not us! With the top down and the spacious boat of a car, we just relaxed, had some funnel cake and watched the movie!

The movie was Ratatouille, which is so much fun. One of Pixar's best, I think. It was actually a double feature, with Pirates of the Caribbean 3 coming second. But we didn't stay for Pirates, because it was getting late and we had already had a lot of fun, and didn't want to spoil a good thing.

The drive back was magical. The sky was so dark, and I just lay back and watched the stars. The convertible was just so wide open that you could get lost in the sky.
