The meet-up at Wallyworld!

The reindeer have landed at Ediz Hook!!!

Singing our hearts out at St. Andrews Place.

Our audience was mesmerized!

No Reindeer Run is complete without a trip to the dump. The most beautiful dump in the whole state.

Francie's gorgeous cookie boxes!

Daisy, our official mascot and in-house entertainment!

This was our club's first annual mini golf and cruise event. It was a blast! The weather wasn't too bad either. We took a very "mini" cruise out to Freshwater Bay, then traveled a short distance to the mini golf course. The course is owned by some friends of Theresa's and they just do it as a very fun hobby. It's an amazing little place and a fun course and I think we were very lucky to be able to play there. The course owners were VERY hospitable and nice and even cooked our hot dogs for us! Despite the fact that Dave and Francie have never played mini golf, Francie came in second to Bruce and Dave got an amazing hole in one! Rodney got a hole in one and so did one of Tim and Destiny's girls. Every time someone gets a hole in one, you have to go hit a triangle bell that was shaped like an eagle! It was such a fun day.

On the Elwha River Bridge!

Theresa and Destiny help set up the hospitality hut.

The instructions directed us to "have fun". We are great at following instructions.

Bruce tees off on the loop-de-loop. Bruce hates loop-de-loops.

This is a very Volkswagen friendly course!!!

Bruce, Dave and Francie are confounded by their balls!

This is one of Vinnie's cars representing on the German themed hole!

Dave takes a risky shot through the snake pit!!!

Here's a view of the hospitality area and the fire pit. I was so amazed by this fun magical place. 

Each hole had a theme. The main theme changes every year. This year is "Mini Golf Around the World" and each hole represented a different country.

The Holland hole!

I can't remember, but I think this one is Tokyo.

The Hawaiian hole!

The golf pros with their cars!

We had a pretty good turnout for the Raker's show this year! Weather was just right too. 

The meetup at the Park and Ride.

"Riff Raff Row" at the Raker's Show! Francie's Lucy came to show off her bling, and Joe with his beautiful coral Beetle. Also, nice paint job, Tim!!!

I was informed that none of our cars won "Best VW" this time around. I want to know why the hell not!

It was top-down weather that day. Lucy was a happy car.

Everything was perfect for our club's first annual Dinner and a Movie Cruise to Port Townsend. Beautiful weather, great food and an action packed movie at the Drive-In. 

We cruised to Port Townsend and stopped at the Ajax Cafe in Port Hadlock for a fantastic dinner. Then we headed to the drive-in to see John Wick 3: Parabellum. Being at the drive-in was like stepping back in time, except the picture and sound were WAY better due to a digital upgrade. You could listen through your radio, but they had the old fashioned speakers too, which most of us needed anyway. As the sun went down, it got a tad chilly, but we were smart and brought our bankies.

Arrived at the Ajax!

Rodney is chowing down on his chowder. He loved it! The Ajax has some of the best food on the Peninsula. 

At the Ajax, it's more than OK to lick your plate. 

At the drive-in! Not every spot had a speaker, so that's why we're parked that way.

Before the main feature, we watched a preview for an upcoming movie called, "Francie and Dave's Winter Adventure".

Ah, memories! And no, none of us drove off with the speaker still attached.

Time for bankies and Raisinets!

Best seat in the house....uh.....er....field.

Four VWs with five club members attended the Rhody Parade in Port Townsend on Saturday, May 18th. We staged just off Lawrence Street from 10:00 to about 1:30. The Ferndale High School band lined up next to us for a short time while they waited to join the parade. They were very impressive! The parade started at 1:00, and we joined in at about 1:40. Lots of spectators along the route. After the parade, we drove to the Bayview Restaurant for lunch. The weather was lovely - a little overcast, a little sun, and not too cold. We're looking forward to next year.

Waiting in the staging area.

We're being serenaded by the Ferndale marching band!

The Rhody Festival theme this year was "The Greatest Rhody" and everything was decorated circus Big Top style. I was fretting that other than VW's being known as "clown cars", we weren't decorated in anything special. But along came a lady giving out free clown noses and we were saved! What's better than a bunch of clowns driving clown cars?

Going down Lawrence Street waving to the adoring fans!

We saw a lot of cute kids enjoying the parade. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to throw them candy or car parts.

There were a group of ladies "judging" the parade and they held up placards to show each entry how they rated. I was so happy to get a "10",  but then I realized the only card they had was a 10. Everybody got a 10. Or maybe an 01. 

The view from above! My husband applied an effect to make us look like toy cars in a miniature town1

The view from Pillar Point is always spectacular!

The hungry gang awaits breakfast! Maybe they'll get it before lunch.
