Highway Robbery

My son and I were on a heist.

On a whim, my son and I robbed a bank.

I donned my saloon-dancer dress, put on my feather boa, and grabbed my gun. My son dressed in his best pinstripe suit and newsboy cap, and grabbed his Tommy gun.

We grabbed bagfuls of cash and sped away.

To think I almost passed on doing an “old time photo.” With a price of $19.95, I was like, no way, that’s highway robbery!

It took a little convincing from Clyde.

The photos in our rooms remind us of how fun it was getting into character, selecting the perfect gun, and striking a pose. Looking back, it was the perfect mother-and-son adventure.
