Day 619, First full day at the Swap

Christian checking out a 49 Kaiser Vagabond the first hatchback.

The alarm was set for 5 am and we were set to meet up at 5:30 am for breakfast.  I am not a morning person and can't eat that early, but I was up and ready to go.  It was a bit of a struggle to get going, but after an ham and cheese omelet and large OJ at Elmer's the morning didn't seem to bad.

The Swap Meet opened for vendors at 6 am and we were there shortly there after.  Christian and helped get Jon's booth set up and then we took off looking at all the cars and stuff.  There is so much to see we spent several hours just.  I think Christian was in awe of all the cars and neat things to look at.  We both felt like kids in a candy store and even in our 40's, the amazement of it all had us wide eyed. There were so many cars to look at.  This was a giant learning curve for Christian being from Denmark and see cars that he had never seen or heard of.

We check in with Jon and Richard and the rest of the gang throughout the day.  At 5 pm the Swap Meet closed and we secured our booth for the night and we all headed back to the hotel.  We had reservations for 17 of us at Elmer's for diner at 7 pm.  This is a crazy group and we had the best time, talking, laughing and sharing stories about all the things we saw at the swap. 

It was an awesome day and we were all beat and ready for bed.  We all needed a good night sleep so we could get up early and start all over again tomorrow.
