Barrett Jackson Palm Beach!

The beginning of April we headed down to Brenda and Greg’s house for a visit with them, and one of butch’s bucket list items.  We went to the Barrett Jackson Auction in Palm Beach.  We had a great time with B&G and had a great visit with all the south Fla family.  We got to meet Madison, who was just celebrating her 1^st birthday, and help Aaron celebrate his with many rum and cokes!

Here are a few of the Barrett Jackson cars we I liked-

Look!  a Stud-E-baker truck!

I just love the little Austin Healy

Sweet little butt convertible Mustang



We spent most of the day Thursday, wandering through the tents checking out EVERY car they had. 

The auction room was much smaller than I imagined from watching it on TV.  There were very few seats, and the small number of bleachers they had around the perimeter of the place were taken well before the auction started each day.  Most of the time you had to stand in a throng of people, smushed in with people constantly trying to push by you.  It was annoying.

We got an unbelievable treat on Friday, G who is in the Lexus business, scored us sky box tickets!  That was definitely the way to watch the auction.  With the sky box tickets, we had a great view with seating, and they even fed you.  We spent the day up there in the high faluting areas.  Got to watch a dog named Dillon bid on 5 or 6 cars.  I realized that sometimes the auctioneer says banana, banana, banana, banana or montana, montana, montana, montana when he's filling in between bids.

butch in almost heaven!

Butch's favorite pics will be along when I can get him to sit down and pick out ONLY a half dozen or so!
