On Tuesday, May 15th, Lisa and I met friends at he Blackhawk Auto Museum for a "Martini Night" hosted by First Republic Bank and Financial Services. Being clients, we were invited to enjoy the martinis, beef, fish, and Lisa's favorite: chocolate-covered strawberries.
The Auto Museum is pretty cool. It houses a vast collection of old and very expensive cars. The Blackhawk Museum is a museum in Blackhawk, California, best known for its significant collection of classic cars. Click here for info http://www.blackhawkauto.org/
The museum houses about ninety classic cars, as well as traveling exhibits from the Smithsonian. It also houses a display showcasing the work of the Wheelchair Foundation. The facility is located within the Blackhawk Plaza outdoors shopping mall.
It's all done in a classy way and Scott's Seafood provided the catering. We like Scott's since they catered our wedding. Here is the museum's circular staircase to the second floor where there are more cars to see.
Lisa and I came back as ghosts to visit the museum as shown here. Remind anyone of "Topper"? If you are too young to know what this is - congratulations.
If you've never been to the museum, you should check it out, especially if you like old cars. Several are owned, or were owned by famous people like Clark Gable and William Hearst. All are on display and you can get fairly close.
Here's my friend Phil squishing my wife.
...and Phil's cool wife Sue with Lisa and Gary, our financial planner. Everyone looks pretty happy at the Martini party. I wonder why.
We ate, drank, and cruised around the museum drooling on the cars.
And finally it was time to leave. We just got into our new car (shown here) and went home. I paid a fortune for these whitewalls!
