Last Thursday afternoon (yikes), the boys and I decided to get some culture and visit an antique car museum in our area. It is housed in the home of the original (as in first ever) GM dealership showroom. It was a lot of fun and we got to see some really cool cars.
A Bugatti - one of Kaedo's favourite car makers and the one car he says he'll spend his first million on (not this model of course - a new one that drifts and goes 0-60 in 2.1 secs)
They decided their favourite car was the Delorean (sp?) (a la Back to the Future) and they only wished it had the flux capacitor all Deloreans should come stock with.
I personally thought this was the coolest. It is an amphibian car and there were only about 70 ever made by this company. Our guide told us that the owner/manufacturer had never even ridden in one of his creations as he was scared to drive and never had a license. He just liked to build. Go figure.
We walked around the downtown area, visited our local art museum, which was beautiful, took a look at our clam shell ampitheater and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Who says you have to travel far to get a bit of culture?

We remember taking the boys to that museum many, many years ago. They may not even remember. It was very cool. I received an email today about life in the 50s and 60s and they showed lots of great cars. I'll send it to the boys and they can view the cars but fast forward through the songs and dancing, lol. Glad you had such a great day.
Love to all
