Because It Is Not Every Day You See a Giant Hot Dog on Wheels...



The first time I saw the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile was while I was driving past the University Hospital in the U-District of Seattle. We were both driving in opposite directions at the time, and I was working, so I did not have an opportunity to take any photos.

Stockings hung by the makeshift chimney with care upon entering the mobile.  Blurry because I only had my iPod to take photos, and I was in a hurry so I may not have focused right.

Imagine my surprise, when a couple of years later, I see the unusual vehicle in the Bothell parking lot!  I immediately had to check it out.  There were about two or three people standing outside the vehicle to answer questions and hand out little Oscar Meyer whistles.

I asked if I could take some photos, and I was told I could take as many as I would like.  I asked if I could go inside, and was told to "Go right ahead!"

The vehicle I saw only sits about 6-8 people.  It was roped off towards the back, so I could not go all the way to the front, but I could still see everything just fine.  It was all decked out for the holidays, both inside and out, which made it even more special.  I am so glad I got a chance to really see it!
