Here’s Part B of my parents Wedding Video from 1960 — the honeymoon. Don’t worry, it’s rated ‘B’ for boring.

A turbo-prop airplane ride to Florida. Lots of boring clouds. Swimming pool at the hotel in South Florida — check out that bathing cap on my Mom, huh? She was a hottie. A day at the races — horse racing, of course. And a cruse down a palm lined road. It might be boring to you, but this is vintage home movie gold to me.

No, that’s not a typo in the title, it’s Part 2a. There are four sub parts (a through d) to Part 2. Hey, it’s my website, I can organize it how I see fit.

So, here’s my parents Wedding Video from 1960.

My first Christmas. I’m not even a year old. I’m guessing my Dad is behind the camera, and my Mother in the frame with me must be about six months pregnant. I’m not sure who owns the hand that makes a guest appearance in the left of frame.

Watching this I can’t help but think toy design has come a long way in forty years. That toy would never have made it to market with safety standards today. Did you see how a little child’s hand could get stuck in the ball cage at the far end?
