Drive-in movie theaters are such a fun thing to do in the summer. I've only done it once in high school with a bunch of friends and it's just a really cool experience. You park your card, grab some snacks at the concession stand, and enjoy a nice Minnesota summer night watching a movie or two outside.

Sadly, there aren't many drive-in movie theaters remaining in Minnesota, but there are still 5 up and running!

I think it's time to plan a trip to one of these. The kids will surely get a kick out of it. Also, hot tip, make sure you've got some jumper cables in case your car dies from running the battery the whole movie... Definitely not speaking from experience (*sarcasm*).
