My First Drive-In

Last night we took the girls to their (and mine) first drive-in movie.  This was a wonderful theater off Route 64 in Goochland.  We got there right before the gates opened.

 

I was amazed how inexpensive it was to get in compared to a traditional movie theater.  For our family of 4, it only cost $17…..AND they were playing two movies that night (we only stayed for one though).

They had an awesome playground for the children to play on before the show began.  We met up with some friends and all the children ended up FILTHY from playing in the mulch.  They all loved it though.

 

Another plus about this theater was that there was nothing in the snack bar over $3.50!  We were able to eat very cheaply for a family of four.  They even had corndogs… one of my favorites!

 

The girls loved being outside to watch the movies.  This was better than a traditional movie theater because Campbell was able to get up and move around….that was until she fell asleep on Tommy’s lap within the first 15 minutes of the movie beginning. 

 

 

 

This was the life!  It was the perfect temperature once the sun went down.  I was also pleasantly surprised that the bugs were not bad at all!
