Favorite Childhood memories?

Back in the late 50's the in spot for Spring Break in CA was Palm Springs. All the movie stars of the era had homes there. (Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Phyllis Diller)

My family went on a vacation to see the "in" spot. The cars were big, convertable, and sported the infamous "fins".

We were driving down main street when coming from the other direction was an old lady riding on the hood of a car.

She was wearing a lepoard print bikini, big floppy hat, big dark sun glasses and smoking a cigarette in one of those long black cigarette holders.

My sister and I still chuckle to this day about our trip to Palm Springs.

I thank you all for particapting and sharing.... I have enjoyed reading your fun times... I was skeptical at first about starting this thread b/c I no many of us have had truamtic childhoods and I just wanted to find something that wasnt negative....

Thank you!

For me it was a wonderful thread, it helped me remember that there were good times.. my grandparents were wonderful people..

so thank you for taking the chance
