When was the last time you have been to a drive in? Most people probably would say "A long time ago." Well, last night the hub and i decided to go check out Mission Tiki, a four screen drive in that was remodeled a few year ago. I am always forgetting it's there until I recently signed up for their newsletter which started coming this past month and which prompted the visit. The entire drive in has been remodeled like Hawaii. It's awesome for Hawaii lovers like the hub and me. The drive in is about 27 miles from LA near Covina. Not super close but hey, how often does a person get to go to a drive in? Not very often. It was about a half hour drive and luckily traffic was good. We of course good some eats at the concession stand but had fun observing everyone. There were people with Windex wiping their window shields, making sure that they had the perfect view. There were groups with their lawn chairs set up. There were people who had stopped to get a pizza. There were carloads of people in their pajama's. Overall, it was a beautiful evening. The weather was perfect. Not to hot and not to cold. A nice breeze. A perfect California evening. We watched the Sandra Bullock flick THE PROPOSAL and the JACK BLACK flick YEAR ONE. Both were okay movies but the experience of being out there in your car with your snacks with a community of cars was just wonderful. Brought back some of the childhood magic. Gosh I wish there was one that was closer but I can only imagine in LA it would be a busy mess. So maybe the drive out to no where to catch a biz of the past magic is best. I can't wait to go again. I think next time I am going to organize my peeps so we can tailgate and watch a film!
