Spitfires and S'mores in Smell-O-Vision

Jake and I are taking both Spitfires to a car show in Perrysburg this morning. We went to the weekly show last week but didn't officially show the cars because we arrived a bit late (thanks, Crowd Strike!). So...technically, today is our first official car show with both Spitfires.

Classic cars and conversation are the defining elements of a Good Car Show. After walking the lot to look at all the cars, Jake and I, along with his friend, sat alongside the Spitfires and talked about everything from social media to Smell-O-Vision. Add in the free t-shirts and this was definitely a Good Car Show. We'll definitely try to come again next year.

Here's my view on the way home from the car show. Two Mark III Triumph Spitfires heading down the road, one after the other. It was a short ride, ten minutes or so to grandpa's house where we keep Jake's car, but it was great fun. The driving was nice, of course, but following Jake in his car was the perfect way to end a great afternoon. This photo really says a lot to me.

It's becoming increasingly rare that all four of us are together, and it's even rarer that all four of us get to sit and talk. We didn't plan it, but one of those rare moments developed around the firepit tonight, with all of us ending a great day over s'mores.
