Once there was a time when gasoline was twenty five cents a gallon, there was no internet, and a family would go for a drive on Sunday. There was no traffic congestion or road rage. The cars were large, and they all came from Detroit. You could drive through a park, even an amusement park. There was no rush to get back to the television; It was very small, with only a few channels. Life now seems to revolve around small silicon chips, I preferred when it was large engines.

I used to love those Sunday drives. When we’d come to an intersection on a back road our Dad would say “Which way?” and he would turn whichever way we said. Of course, he knew where we were, but we did not. I did that occasionally with my kids when they little. Such fun! 😃
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoyed driving through Dorney Park with my parents. We would stop to feed the ducks and buy some French fries. It cost us next to nothing for an enjoyable few hours.
ReplyDeleteLove this! A drive through Dorney Park was used as a reward for good behavior :) Effective and awesome! Thanks for the memory!
