by All the Texas State Parks nearby were full for the weekend so we scrambled to find a place to park for 2 days. We were told, after the fact, that it was a miracle we were able to get a reservation at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park but somehow we did. And by doing so landed in the middle of the biggest VW rally in Texas.
And we had fun!
We were packed in like sardines and it was noisy as all get out, but we didn’t care.
The crowd was just a bunch of local Texas boys and girls out having a good time. Everyone was friendly and hospitable. Flannel was an acceptable outer wear. I fit in quite well.
People paraded their VW’s around all day and half the night showing them off.
This was not something we would have chosen to do ahead of time but this slice of Americana turned out to be a very memorable event.
Sue got to walk around in a haze of nostalgia remembering the VW’s of her youth.
I love seeing Winni O. tooting around town in the summer in hers ! She looks so CUTE !!!
I know! She would have been the belle of the ball with the quilted cover on her VW!
