When I think of drive-ins, I think of the 50's, I think of Grease. I never would have thought that I would be able to experience it! We found out about the West Wind Solano 2 Drive-In, a.k.a. Concord Drive-in through my sister. We've watched Speed Racer, Kung Fu Panda & Iron Man there. Last night we had a chance to watch The Incredible Hulk & Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with my brother and his family.
I can't believe how many blockbusters we've already watched this summer. Usually we watch maybe 1 or 2 movies a year! With the movie theaters being so pricey, we figure we'll just go watch the REALLY good ones then wait for the rest to come on DVD. Another reason why we didn't frequent the big screen was well...it's a bit much for some of our children. The little one won't sit still in that seat. I end up just bringing her to the side and watching standing up. The answer to that problem was easily solved by the drive-in. We get to enjoy the movies with all the kids, they don't have to sit in a chair for 2 hours, we get to bring our own food. And did I mention that it's only like $7 ($6 something) a person and we only pay $1.00 for the 2 older kids?!! It's just so much fun!
If you haven't had a chance to visit the Concord Drive-In, I highly recommend doing so. Tuesdays are family nights so the admission is only $5.00 ($4 something)!
Bring some friends with you it doubles the fun!

Hmmm...sounds like fun. Being a video/audio fanatic however makes it hard for me to watch a movie in the drive-in (especially one with good graphics and sound), because I'll keep comparing it to what I could have seen on the IMAX or DLP screen, with THX sound. I guess I can go more for the experience.
I know what you mean. It's great to see the movies on a HD screen and experience that THX surround sound. The quality at the drive in may not be the best but when you're there with the entire family, just relaxing and having fun. Nothing beats that!
