Drive in Restaurant – Red Baron

While driving home from Yellowstone we came thru a small town called Afton in Wyoming we were looking for a place to grab some dinner and get back on the road…we came across this old Drive In called Red Baron! I didn’t think there were any Drive In’s left! It was fun and truly old Americana!
We had our Chinese friend, Sherry traveling with us and thought this would be a really unique experience for her….she was amazed that they served the food on a tray on placed it on your window! The food is greasy but good!

My hubby and I shared some fish and chips and a shake..I wish we would have gotten a raspberry one as those seemed to be “the thing” to get…but our cookies and cream was still pretty good. My hubby who is normally Mr. Healthy even ordered cheesy tater tots! He said we needed to experience the whole thing…they were as gross as I remember….I’m so not a tater tots fan 🙁 Sherry and our daughter Emily seemed to enjoy their food as well.

This photo I took above reminds me of a scene from the children’s movie cars!! The yellow car is actually a lime green color and totally reminds me of the movie. It was a fun time in Afton, Wyoming and sharing a little piece of old Americana life with our Chinese friend.
When and where was the last time you ate at a Drive In?

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
