And the reason this time, is the annual Fircrest Car Show, which was last Sunday!
Now, our town is small... But it's got a nice big park right in the middle of it. And last Sunday, that park was tree-to-tree chrome and high gloss flames!
This shot was taken as we got to the park - about a 90 second walk from our front yard! Then it was meet 'n' greet with all of our friendly neighbors. Thanks to the Puddle Jumpers Daycare, pretty much everyone in Fircrest knows (and loves!) us, so there was a lot of quick "Hi, how are ya?" going on. But AFTER that, we got to take some time to peruse the beautifully restored classics...
And amidst all the classics, was a true Instant Classic, a car that just the day before I'd been drooling over at the dealership when we went to pick up the plates for our new van...
There was an amazing amount of gorgeous cars on display, all right down the hill from our house, and viewing them was free to all who wandered through the park. Everyone showing a car simply paid a $15 registration fee...
The Brinkerhoffs Love Fircrest!!
And an amazing amount of testosterone I am sure!
ReplyDeleteI am with Amy too on this one. Funny. My husband would love that as well. I really enjoy looking at cars though too. It is so fun. With that background of trees, is way better than our hot and ugly fairgrounds. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the natural setting is definitely part of the appeal. And the pool is right there too, so in addition to the oldies blasting through the park, and the occasional engine revving up, there was a constant backdrop of kids laughing, splashing and diving!
ReplyDeleteAnd the hormone level definitely leaned more towards the testosterone side of the spectrum, but there was a whole lotta estrogen in the park too!
Hello Mike, the new improved NICER Susan here. How perfectly lovely Fircrest is. And I love that you guys have all that goodness just down the street. Don would have loved to be there. Too bad that they can't combine the car show with the Fourth of July. We would be there every year. Well of course, except for Brinkerhoff year on Lake Mason.
ReplyDeleteJust by driving through your town I could tell it was a charming place to live!
ReplyDeleteYes, you have a great town. I can't wait until next month when we come back for Lizzy's Dr. appt.
