50's Diner Theme 60th Birthday Party

My Dad is a child of the 1950's and has a strong connection to that era.  For his 60th Birthday, we celebrated with a Surprise 50's Diner Theme Birthday Party. The party was hosted at a place known locally as "The Hawksbill".  It's been around for years and has a ton of character all on it's own.

The "Diner" counter was open to guests all night where they 

could order burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese and fries

A slideshow played throughout the night with this

cutout made to look like a car at a drive-in. The figures

in the car were traced from an actual photo of my parents-

yes my Dad used to sit and stare at my Mom like that!
