vintage spinning

Right behind the snack bar at the drive-in in Wellfleet, MA there's an old (vintage!) playground to take the kids to when they get bored of the movie. We went there for the flea market, and everyone's kids had a ball playing on this spinning thing. (What is it's name? I feel like I should know.) Obviously they don't make these anymore.

They still run movies there - I just saw Harry Potter 6 with my wife on an appropriately dark and stormy night.  The first movie that I can remember seeing there is, I think, The Empire Strikes Back.

I also went to the beach.

Incidentally, Colorado photographer Brenda Biondo takes beautiful but perhaps unnecessarily haunting photographs of old playground equipment.
