Back From Bristol

We're home after another weekend of traveling!

We had a great time in Bristol starting off with a girls road trip down (the men road separately, one coming down early the other coming up on Saturday after an evening of planes, trains and automobiles). We met up with a friend who was staying at a campground, had dinner out and were lucky to stay the weekend with friends(but, due to my ever changing cell phone number we missed the chance to see another friend Friday afternoon).

Race day dawned with a thunderstorm (luckily, TL was so tired she slept through it) but cloudy skies led to sunshine and a good time was had by all. My SC friend rode his bike up for his first NASCAR race and was amazed at all the campers, people and tailgaters. We had some great seats, a good race and the three of us had fun. My driver did great (other people's didn't do so hot...) so I was very happy. Ted very kindly lent us the head sets so we were able to have in race commentary by TL for a majority of the race (they have a microphone so you can talk to each other during the race). I think in the end she could always get a job with PRN radio if she wanted.

We spent this morning seeing friends and holding babies followed by lunch in an old post office in Marion, Virginia with my SC friend's brother and sister in law (I'm starting to think I need a new name for my SC friend though--too much to type...). We're home now, unpacking all our stuff and getting ready for the week ahead.

TL has middle school orientation on Thursday so the week ahead will be focused on her (like it isn't all the time before now) and we will finish up all our shopping, planning and getting ready for waking up at 6:00. In between we have to finish unpacking from the weekend and catch up on all the stuff we haven't done for the past few weeks.

Have a great week!
