It must seem like we got dressed up and went out to dinner a lot but that was not true. Going to a restaurant was a once-a-year occurrence in my family and involved serious wardrobe requirements. Even now, when my mother hears that my husband and I are going to be ushers at a memorial, she says "well you better get him a new shirt!"
Where are we? My guess is that we are in Monterey on an outing during the vacation, possibly going out to dinner. Doesn't look like Santa Cruz or San Francisco and certainly not Sacramento. The gray sky and costal fog was likely a welcome respite from the brilliant harsh valley summer. Usually I can remember the dress that I'm wearing but not in this case, nor do I remember the polka dot outfit worn by my mother. Notice we are all wearing proper white sweaters. That was what you were supposed to wear when you were dressed up. Must be summer because my mother is carrying a white purse!
Wouldn't want to take my 8 year old brother into a restaurant too often...
Even I might be getting a little tired of 1962. But we soldier on!

I imagine that we are on vacation and out to dinner. As I remember we did that once during the week of our vacation. Can't see us getting that dressed up and traveling all the way from Sscramento for a meal. You look like you are holding our jackets. Looks like fog rolling in or just overcast.
