Hubby had the idea night before last to invite Bunni and her hubby to come down for the car show.  I’m not wild about going to one although I will.  Neither is she.

They got here around 10 or so and we had breakfast/lunch/whatever anyone felt like eating. (Oreo cookies, anyone?)

The guys (including the little imp) left for the car show and Bunni and I hopped in the Jeep and headed for Cannon Beach.  I know the yarn store owner there and she is only in the shop on weekends so I wanted to say hi.  I bought yarn the other day but Bunni had never been there. 

It’s funny, I’ve driven over the bridge quite a few times but never in the Jeep.  I can’t say I liked it, I felt like a new driver.

It was a relaxing drive in spite of the fact that both Seaside and Cannon Beach were wall-to-wall people…which translates to wall-to-wall cars.  lol  I would never have thought of it if I was in the car.

I cannot believe that even though I grabbed my camera, I didn’t take any pictures.  We did have a fun time at the store. Then we just got in the Jeep and headed back up the coast.  Amazingly, we beat the guys back so we had a nice quiet visit in the RV.  It was too cloudy and windy/cool to sit outside.

I noticed something funny.  When they came back, we decided to not barbecue and go for pizza instead since our meat had frozen…as did everything else in the refrigerator.  (eggs crack when frozen).  Anyway….Bunni and I drove down back streets to get back to the rv park because of the craziness here with all the old cars and enthusiasts.  Traffic on the main drag crawls and there is honking, rumbling, exhaust, and screaming people along the side of the street…many in lawn chairs.  We wanted to avoid it.  But the guys?  Heading back after we ate, we were right in it.  It’s NUTS!  Fun kind of nuts, but it took 5 times as long. I might add that Bunni got a kick out of Jeep drivers tipping their hands or waving at each other.

See all the old cars?  Can you hear and smell the craziness?

There were lots of Harleys and motorcycles lining the streets, too. 

It really was a fun day.  I can still hear the low rumble of the cars and I know people from our park here are still sitting out on the sidewalk in their lawn chairs.  Our guests have left and I am sad I have nothing to show for it picture-wise but I think fun was had by all.

Tomorrow we head back to reality.
