Drove 40 minutes into Mansfield to take my son to the drive in to see X-Men. Das Bus drove like a champ on the back roads and kept up (sorta) with the traffic on route 30. We pulled into the drive in only to find that they had changed to Angles & demons which my wife and I had no clue as to whether it was appropriate for my 6 year old but didnt sound like it. it was still a little light out and I knew there was another drive in on the north side of town but wasnt sure what was playing or even if they were still open.
When we got there there was a short line of cars waiting for it to open. This drive in which is also off 30 a short distance has two screens opposite each other and was showing four movies. on the big screen was Angels and Demons and something else and on the smaller screen was X-men.....after the Hannah Montana movie
As my son really couldnt care if the movie was the 3 little pigs or X-men or Hannah Montana we decided to stay. we got there just before dark and the movie was to start in 10 minutes.
We pulled in, opened up the back hatch and unloaded some stuff. Got some popcorn laid out the blanket & sleeping bag and watched my son run around the place having a ball. Put down the bed and waited for the movie. The bed wasnt real comfy but it was enough to put me asleep (out of my misery) for at least 3/4 of the movie
By the time Hanna was over it was pushing 11pm and my son was tired so we packed up and didnt even stay for the x-men movie. Never having driven Das Bus at night, i wasnt sure what to expect. it ran great again, the headlights need a little adjusting by work fine. I couldnt figure out if the bus has high beams or not and if so, how to switch them on...The gage lights need a little improvement as i could barely see how fast i was going but they work.
It was a good time by all and we put another 50+ miles on the bus.
