Cruisin' Grand

After a long day at home with a couple of babies, Oliver and Mommy went on an evening adventure!  We had already planned on going to Cruisin' Grand to check out all the cars and soak up the atmosphere.    It was awesome!  We saw tons of neat vehicles!  We are definitely going back!



Escondido is so fun and so real.  We love living here!

He loved looking at all the engines.

Cool beans!

Panel Truck.  All the papers attached to it are the history.
Mommy wanted to read it, but Oliver wanted to check out
all the other cars!

Excitement!

He thought this store, which sold car things,
was a carnival game store!  Mommy is glad that
he likes to play games as much as she does!

We went in the store, they had really neat displays.
(Mommy always likes reading about Rt. 66...)

He loved it in there!

Beautiful.

Cuteness.

He loved the tires and the engine!

Cruisin' whatever this car was...he had to walk
back and forth about 6 times checking it out.

At the DJ's booth they had a schedule.
Hula Hoop Contest???

Mommy needs to go back!

We stopped and shared a sandwich in Paris.

Eating his half.  Mommy took out her bacon.
(Maybe, she will eat it later.  Maybe.)

Mommy's little car man.

All the cars are so well taken care of...(Mommy
likes this picture.)

They even close some of the side streets off and 
park more cars!

Old fire truck driving on Grand.

Oliver liked the truck doors.


We stopped and rested.  Oliver said he was out of
gas and he needed more.  Mommy gave him something
to drink.  He thinks he is a car.  

Right after we sat and Mommy refueled
her little Owl, we saw this license plate.
It reminded Mommy of Oliver.

Mommy wanted a picture with Oliver.
He got to choose the car.  He chose this 
old Jeep.


This was a neat Jeep.  Mommy likes the history
behind it.

There is a brand new candy store on Grand.
Mommy sees it when she takes Oliver to
preschool, but she didn't tell him about it.
We went in tonight though!

They have a lot of neat things besides candy.

Mommy thought this was funny and she thought
Aunt Jess would like it.  (Sorry, just couldn't help myself.)

A pirate in the candy store?  (Pure bliss for Mommy!)
She just had to get her picture taken with him.

Oliver got a smarties lollypop.

Mommy got a...see above.  She used to get these
from the candy stand in Indiana.  They are her favorite.
She shared it with Oliver of course, he loved it too!

Neato!

It was fun seeing the cars parked, but also a lot of them were
driving around.  (Mommy thought this one was really, really neat.)

We liked driving down Grand too!  

This was another fancy car that was driving.  Mommy
liked the license plate.  (Hmmm neat again...Mommy has always
wanted to go on a road trip to New Mexico!)

Oliver had a bath before we left for Cruisin' Grand
and Mommy let him be in his jammies.  She knew he would fall 
asleep on the way home.  Mommy likes when Oliver gets his rest.



We had an awesome time together!  Oliver is off in the morning with his Daddy.  Mommy won't see him  for the next week, except for a short time this Monday.  Mommy knows he will have fun, but she misses him already.  

Happy Friday!
