Metro Cruise 2008

With a car-loving son we just couldn't miss the 28th street Metro Cruise. We had a busy day in store on Saturday, but managed to fit some Metro Cruise viewing in. Actually we already sat and watched a number of old cars cruise 28th street on Friday night because we were fearful that the forecast for rain would be correct. Thankfully Saturday morning was sunny and warm so we headed over to Centerpointe Mall to look at a few cars. To our surprise a race car, a Steelcase truck, some huge tow trucks and the GM Futurliner were parked there as well! Joshua actually got to sit in the Steelcase truck and the GM Futurliner! Quite the thrill for our little guy! At 5pm we had staked out our spot on 28th street along with my dad and Shawn, Erin and Owen (conveniently located right in front of Buffalo Wild Wings). For about an hour we watched the old cars cruise the street, but then saw lightning that was a touch to close for our taste so we headed into the restaurant to eat and hopefully wait out the storm. Unfortunately for us the rain continued while we ate and the number of cars dwindled with every drop of rain, so we never got to see more of the cruise. Despite the rain out we had a great time and I'm glad our little car-lover had the experience!
