Father's Day this year for the California Hendersons was centered around a first trip for all of us to Peterson's Auto Museum in LA. Since both Butch and Eric, Maria's husband, are "car nuts," it just seemed to be THE thing to do for Father's Day. After taking a quick look around, we had a delicious lunch at Johnny Rocket's which is located inside the Museum. What a perfect place for a burger! Then we went back for more. Butch and I found a 1959 Cadillac convertible like the one that we drove off in after our wedding reception. We also saw a 1939 Packard that looked so much like the one that Butch restored - color, details, etc. The kids loved seeing all of the cars and especially enjoyed the floor with activities just for kids. We got home in time for the kids to "swim" in the spa and then to all enjoy dinner on the patio. Butch, Eric, and Luke took a spin in the Model A. They headed home and we had a good visit with Mark who had celebrated with his family, Susan's parents, and Susan's sister and her family. What a special day for them to all be together. Father's Day was indeed super all the way around!

I would love to be at Johnny Rockets right now. That was the perfect Father's Day you and Maria dreamed up. I must revisit the Cadilac convertible! And super, the opportunities for the kids to also have fun. Joe and I did see the end of Andy Warhol and Cars at the Montclair Art Museum, so we got in a bit of cars on Father's Day. More than wanted on the highway! Nice to have so many fathers to celebrate.
