Hampton School Show report

      It was cold and windy but the roads were clear and the sky was a crispy blue—a perfect day for an outing.   Traveling with Joe in his Vanagon was interesting.  It's not fast by any means and because there's no possibility of serious speed, one can forget about being quick and just sit back and enjoy the ride and scenery.
      We had a light lunch in a nice small eatery in the town (village?) of Hampton before heading over to Hampton Middle School.  The show had drawn 60 or so cars from the area including a sizable contingent from the Corvette club.  The hit of the day was the enthusiasm of the kids. They took a shine to Joe's van as they could crawl around in it and explore (how many 10 year olds can fit in a van?).  Another VW camper showed up and the two became the hit of the show.
       The wind soon subsided and it became comfortably warm.  The school provided free coffee and a bake sale inside.
       I found it to be an enjoyable day and hope to make this a regular outing for the club.  The restaurant provides an all important pit stop for us, Hampton is a nice little town, and it's worthwhile to chat with the kids and hopefully pass on some enthusiasm for the hobby.
