The funny thing is....we came to the Drive in because I wanted to share the experience with Cora. We added it to her not Bummer Summer album. But I stopped there. Did I really want to tell her of all my escapades there? No.....instead I decided to use this blog to tell her everything that I learned from those escapes and from growing up in the Ohio Valley.
-Whatever you do your parents will ALWAYS find out.
-Get a good BFF and hang on tight....it is gonna be a fun ride.
-Go with your gut....it is always right. If you don't think you are supposed to be somewhere then LEAVE!
-When your parents tell you that a friend isn't worth your time.....they are right. :/
-You are welcome to use the car but it has to be put back where it came from (that is where I got my "mad parallel parking skills) and make sure you stop at the gas station on the way home!
-Being friends with someone shouldn't be work.
-No matter what you do on a saturday night, Church is on Sunday Morning.
-You and your friends are always welcome in our house as long as you and they are respectful.
-I will always wait up for you and no matter where you are I will always come and get you.
-And no that no matter how much you love a place and how many roots you have you must spread your wings and fly.
I could have gone into great detail with each of these but I will save those stories for when Cora is older. But no matter how much of a bad rap everyone gives this place it was a great place to grow up. I have always said that I left having two things- a great work ethic and a love for a wide variety of food. So I hope that in these next few weeks that Cora and I are spending here I can at least instill the love for the wide variety of food. And I will also enjoy taking her to places that mean the most to me....just like I did last night!
