Summer Family Fun

I hope this isn't too late to let everyone know about a great affordable place for summer fun. Since we used to live in White House, Jeremy and I always anticipated the opening of the Franklin Drive-In theater and although we now live in H'ville we are still excited about it. I just checked and this weekend proves to be a great showing...Indiana Jones for the 1st feature and Iron Man for the 2nd. For those who have never been, the theater is located just over the state line, shows double features, and charges per carload at the low low price of $9 ($12 for Dreamworks/Paramount...I'll explain more on this in a moment). So yes if you can pack 20 people in your vehicle it is still only $9. With the price of gas and food going up this is a great place to hang out with the family and/or friends and see the latest films without having to take out a small loan. The other great things about it are the concession stand (which is very affordable), a grass area for the kids to play before the movie begins, you don't have to "sneak" in snacks and drinks, and the fact that it is always clean. So if you have not already made plans for this weekend I highly recommend you check out the drive-in.

Now about the $12 charge: apparently Dreamworks/Paramount said that they have to charge an adult and child price for their movies. In order to comply with this the drive-in decided then to charge $12 a carload but to then give a voucher for a free medium popcorn per vehicle to compensate the difference. You can read more about it on their website.
