Back upstairs I go to use the bathroom and discover this very, very clever night light!

Now I cannot forget our co-host, Fred!
What a great guy and what an amazing collection of (mostly Hoover) vacuums he has! Just incredible!
I now wish I would have spent more time with him learning more about his collection.

Suzy Homemaker wants to come out and play too!
We had a special guest visit too! Jim (may32) brought his Suzy Homemaker washer and it ended up visiting with Robert's baby Suzy. Thanks so much for bringing it Jim!
I had one of these (the larger one) when I was younger. I of course wish I had it how![this post was last edited: 5/18/2010-01:18]

I decide to tempt fate by overriding the door safety switch on the Westinghouse as it's washing.
It was a lot of fun to watch without any window to obstruct the view.... [this post was last edited: 5/18/2010-01:15]

Robert is channeling thru Peter via his psychic abilities... "OK boys, just what are you doing with the Laundromat??"
As the evening wares on... and after doing multiple loads of laundry in every washer in the basement... we start drying things....
This is a shot of the heating element in Philco Automagic dryer... this was really something to see! The white towels being dried actually looked orange with the room lights off!

Meanwhile back up stairs.... it's just like Christmas!
Someone gave Fred a Dyson Air Multiplier. Basically it's a very cool, blade-less fan that produces a clean, smooth stream of air.

Another group shot of everyone...... this time on the front lawn!
The end of the night.......
Well here we are at the end of the night. Every washer had at least 2 loads run thru them and a few machines probably more! Cloths are piled all over... some folded, some not.
Joe and I arrived at the Wash-In about 4 PM Saturday afternoon and finally left at 2:45 am Sunday morning. Boy was I exhausted... BUT was it WORTH IT! OMG this was SO much fun and I am so glad that I made the trip!
Robert, thank you so much for hosting this event and inviting everyone into your home! I very much enjoyed being able to see, touch and hear all of your machines in person, what an awesome experience! It was also really great to finally meet you, Fred and others from the site and to be able to put faces to the names.

And now the rest of the (boring?) trip....
Sunday morning (barely) after waking up just before 11... we head off to the Mall of America to check it out. I have to say it'd really something!
Aside from the usual 'mall shopping experience" there is also an underground aquarium (IN A SHOPPING MALL???)

AND...........
An indoor amusement part with 26 different rides... which include at least 3 roller coasters and a water log ride!
Pretty amazing!
OK.. I'm done.
I hope you enjoyed all the photos!

Thanks for posting these photos!
I was interested in the "side trip" photos, too.
I never knew that Burns & Allen advertised Spam. Learn something new every day. I wonder if they, themselves, actually ever ate Spam. (Or used other products they advertised, like Carnation evaporated milk or drank Maxwell House, for that matter!)

Kevin, Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Kevin, thank YOU, for sharing your pictures. I bet everyone was exhaused and still wanting to play. I am glad so many showed and had a good time. I saw lots of happy smiles in your picturs. I bet that Philco dryer startled many a new owner back in the day. Thanks again arthur/ alr2903
