Saturday, April 9, 2011 - Car Show Day

Brother told us about a big car auction and show today down at the fairgrounds, so Hubby and I decided to check it out after we went computer shopping.  It's a huge event, only held a few times a year in various parts of the country, with the auction being broadcast live on Speed network all day.  Some incredible cars of all kinds, many of them just like the cars we grew up with, from early 60's Cadillacs to all the GTO's and other muscle cars.  Of course, the Batmobile is a standard at this show, called the Barrett-Jackson car show, as well as all the usual classics.  Enjoyed the day, temps were a bit warm, but the tents provided enough shade to make it comfortable.  Brother met up with us later in the day and we toodled around together for a while before heading back to the ranch.  We sure have been seeing our share of sights since we've been here!  Makes for a nice change, particularly since we're still able to ride a lot in between all those events.  The only trouble here is that I don't have a very good broadband signal, so pix are being loaded up later.  A small price to pay for all the perks we're enjoying, though!
