Well, two weeks ago we went to the NASCAR race in Talladega. Yup, that's right...we love some racin'! We had a blast. Me, Scott, my parents, Scott's dad (Ron), and Scott's friend (Gregory) all went. This was Ron and Gregory's first Talladega experience!!! :) How exciting for them. It was definitely a new experience that neither of them had seen anything like before :) It was supposed to rain, so we were afraid that we wouldn't get the race in, but thankfully the weather held out and they got to have the WHOLE race day experience!
We got there early Sunday morning, walked around all morning taking in all the different people you will see there, shopped, and then headed into the track to get ready for the race. Everyone enjoyed the race....except for the end! None of our peeps won. We were all cheering for Jeff Gordon #24 or Jimmie Johnson #48. Afterwards, we hung out at the cars for a bit and ate some sandwhiches and snacks we had brought with us. We got to watch all the drunk rednecks fight to leave as soon as possible! :) No use in getting out in all the maddess too soon! We stayed until the rain finally came and then headed home.
It was a great time overall! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I think Gregory is gonna be a diehard NASCAR fan now after this experience! hee hee. He's already wanting to come to another race! Ron we might have to work on to become a "diehard" fan, but he enjoyed himself and all the different people that you'll see at an event like this! :)
Here are a few pics from our fun trip:

Love the belly shot, but seriously too much 24 can cause a bad pregnancy... remember the unborn don't have a voice.
Seriously, I am jealous but sick of Kyle Bush, and sick of Toyota. Will Junior end the streak this year??!!!!
