So onto the title of my post....... we have become NASCAR fans......some of you know this....maybe some of you don't but it is our weekend addiction. I used to endlessly mock my friend Lori on her love of the sport but I'm just as bad as she is now. Last May, Jeff and his Dad were lucky enough to go to Charlotte, North Carolina for the All -Star Race. It was an awesome trip that Jeff won and since I wasn't able to go ( I was 9 months prego) I insisted that he take his father with him. They had a blast together at the races and Jeff has talked about it ever since. We really wanted to go back this May but the sensible sides of us kicked in and we paid off some debt instead of incurring more. I couldn't justify spending money on a trip when we could be that much closer to no debt. Hopefully next year we might be able to pull it off.......anyhow......I have been bugging Jeff ever since for a trip to New Hampshire as there is a race track there. I haven't been able to get him to go for it UNTIL this past weekend. My Dad was talking about a weekend trip down that way and I suggested that we take the kids and tag along. It just also happens to be the weekend the cars are racing at Loudon......so YAHOO....we are off to the races. Mom and Dad are going to watch the kids for the day so we can have some quality fun time together. I can't wait!!! We have seats in the Main Grand Stand right across from Pit Road. Hopefully it's going to be an awesome race with even a few crashes......it has been a whirlwind week of planning as this had gone from a thought on Sunday night to buying tickets and booking hotels on Monday.
So stay posted for a trip update.......I won't get anything more up before going as tomorrow is jam packed full of packing and cleaning. The kids have to go to school Friday morning for a little bit to get report cards. They are having an assembly that morning too and Jessica is receiving the Citizenship Award so we can't really miss out. What a big day for her!!! We are all excited for the weekend and the adventure we are going to have......I'm even finally going to get to a Bath and Body Works......I have never been.....have tons of their products but have never bought them myself. Can't wait...........till next week.....hope everyone has a FANTASTIC weekend and Happy Canada Day!!!!
Can't wait........

I hope you guys have a fun weekend! Gotta love Bath & Body Works! Can't say I'm with ya on the Nascar stuff! I was exposed enough to it....no thanks! haha!
But that's awesome that you get to have a fun date time with Jeff, and I hope you get to see all the crashes your little heart desires!!
oh man, i just dont know how you do it. i cannot get into racing for the life of me. maybe if i had a racer in the family, or if i cared more about cars or something. i dont know, but its cool that you and jeff both like it so you dont have to argue over what to watch on tv!
I still can't quite understand your NASCAR obsession, but whatever floats your boat, I guess. It is exciting that you get to see it live though. I think I could handle it more if I could see it live and hear the sounds of the crashes up close! And just think of the sweet smell of burning rubber...hahaha! Hope you get lots of shopping in as well...I'm sure Karen will have a list of things for you to get her. Have a great trip and I can't wait to read the update and see all the pictures you (better) have taken!
Can't wait to see the pics and read all about it. Fun times for you and your family. Take lots of entertainment for the kids in the car.
Have Fun! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
I'm trying to figure out which is your greater fantasy, going to the races or going to Bath & Body Works? Either way you'll get to indulge in both. Have a great time! Darren and I went to bed early Saturday night, something I don't think we've done in over 5 years, since hanging out with you and Jeff, lol!
Wow! So exciting for you. I'll have to pass that info along to Keith. He's never seen a race live. I'm sure it will be quite an experience for you. Have fun!!
