By show of hands.....When was the last time that YOU went to the drive-in movies????? Stick 'em WWAAYYY up - I'm counting!
Well, in My Back Yard...you can do just that! The Finley family had a fantastic outing Friday night that was so worth telling you about - just a short drive from Wake Forest to Henderson (30 mins) was a fun-filled, family adventure that my son (and husband) just adored...
The Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre is alive and well! A fully operational drive in movie theatre with the latest releases, great concession stand and an evening under the stars full of fun!
I wanted to surprise my husband and son with something different - they had no idea what was in store. We headed out US 1 and my husband thought for sure we were going to Virginia to a lake that we keep thinking about going to. What he couldn't figure out is why we were going so late! HAHA
When I exited the highway towards the Vance County Industrial Park I think they were both a little 
worried. Had they done something that finally took me over the edge and I had some dark thoughts of dumping them off? :) Fortunately, all worries were quelled when they saw the sign and that's when the excitement piqued! What was most fortunate for us was the Sufolk Rod & Muscle Car Club was making an appearance - talk about some gorgeous cars!
Guys, for the Finley family to get into the movie, all have cheeseburges, fries, drinks, mega Pixie Stix and popcorn, it was well under $40.00. Honestly, when was the last time you made it to the regular cineplex without taking out a loan?
The staff at the Raleigh Road Outdoor Theatre were ultra-friendly, very welcoming and truely made you feel like you were home. Before the movie there was a clip highlighting the history of the drive-in movies - out of over 4000+ drive-ins at one time there are only a shy bit past 400 still in existence and OPERATING in the US. Fortunately, for the folks around here there happens to be one of them located In My Back Yard....
I hope you enjoy the pictures! The first few are of the theatre and the last half are the classic cars - GREAT family night!

Sounds like great fun! We used to have so many drive ins here in Jersey. I think I read the last one closed a couple of years ago. The car show is the icing on the cake...give me a 67 GTO!
