Drive In (Retro Romance Redux)

About a year and a half ago, we had discovered an awesome retro-romantic date idea that did not even require a babysitter.  The Drive-In Movie, however so hard to find these days, was a way for Chris and I still to keep up with new movies in a way that we could still bring Cheyenne.  We have since frequented this spot, Vineland Drive-In, with varying success.  This last time, barring a potential glow-stick fiasco*, was a perfect trip.  This time we got there nice and early, so that Cheyenne could share in the whole atmosphere of getting all set up in the trunk, eating our dinner like a picnic, and then by the time the movie started, she was pretty sleepy and we could relax in this pseudo-date night.


*The glow stick fiasco consisted of us, mid-movie, realizing that Cheyenne had broken a glow stick and was on her way to dreamland while her shirt and pants were lighting up the back seat with a neon pink glow.  We changed her clothes in a panic (which she thought was hilarious) and frantically searched the dark car for the package that we finally found and resolved that it was non-toxic and we didn't need to call poison control, or call child protective services on ourselves.
