Dad and Mom on the town in 1947

In Washington DC. The photo is marked 1947 on the back. They look pretty happy. This reinforces my impression that we were a reasonably happy family until some point in the early-to-mid 1950s. I presume the photo was taken by street photographer. Anyway, they rarely went out at night, but when they did we had a teenage babysitter from one of the local farms; I can't recall her name just now but she had red hair.
