Most people have a VW Bug story in their life. I do. My best friend in high school drove a candy-apple red one... good times.
I've a story that seems like it should have a VW Van in it. 
We had such an unexpected good time!
And, I drove a red one for 10 years until I traded it in for the green one I drive now.
But how about a VW Van story?
What a funny and recognizable vehicle. Somehow I always think of them being painted crazy with peace, love, rock & roll, or flower power symbols.
In 2016 we took a trip to New York. We went to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown for a couple of days. Then we went to a place called Inn at Lake Joseph. (It was wonderful, and I'd recommend it with 10 stars. Have a look. https://lakejoseph.com/)
Anyway... on our last day, we drove into the little town. We stopped in a funky little place for lunch and asked the teenaged waitress if there was anything interesting in the town we might want to see or do.
"Not really. There's like a museum thing down the road about like 10 miles. It's called Woodstock. There'll be a sign. I haven't been. Some people like to go there."
Wait... Do you mean Woodstock, Woodstock???
"I guess so. They had a big concert or something there a long time ago."
What?... 10 miles? Which road?
Ok, now that I've gone back to find the pictures, I see that it's a bus and not a VW van... shoot, I remembered wrong.... oh well...
Look back at the painting... Did you notice it? If you listen look really closely, you'll hear see music coming from the radio and blowing away on the breeze!
My Weekly-ish painting challenge was "Ride."
A VW Van would be a pretty cool ride... cooler if it was painted with peace signs and flowers though...
