#63 Go to a Drive in movie Theater COMPLETE 9 June 2012

Nothing like cramming three people into a convertible coupe on a crisp Washington summer night to go to the drive in. It actually was a lot of fun but the wind was kicking. Dave, Matt and I went to the Skyline Drive-in theatre to see Snow White and the Huntsmen and Prometheus in Dave’s new convertible. We tried to watch with the top off but ended up getting too cold, so we put the top up and worked with the tiny backseat.
