Times Have Changed - McDonalds

The very first McDonalds I ever saw was in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1963. It was one of the original McDs with the golden arches. It was strictly carry out and all you could get was a hamburger with ketchup on it. Kind of like the original Model-T cars which you could get in any color as long as it was black.

Our plan for watching the kids here in Fort Collins is to do something every day that will get us out of the house. Marie has been our activity planner and she suggested we go to a local McDonalds just up the road from where they lived. This is the first time I've been in a McDonalds in many a year.

McDonalds today are a far cry from that original McDonalds in Knoxville. It was a chrome and polish and had a humongous play area for the kids which is the attaction for Juliet and Leah. And the menu has come a long way from the Model-T menu of years past.

Here are a few pictures of the girls at play at McDonalds. No pictures of the food - sorry.
