Talladega!!!



This weekend was such a great weekend! Me and Tim left early Friday morning (I'm talking 7:00 am) and headed to Alabama. We stayed at this really cool campsite I found online about 4 hours away called Logans Landing. If you ever want to do the camping thing...I really suggest this campsite. It's the cleanest campsite I've been to, and the people that run it are all the nicest people ever. They even have Karaoke on Friday and Saturday nights which was a lot of fun! Anyways. Friday we just set up camp, drank a few beers, grilled some ribs, and hung out. Saturday we stayed around the camp site all day and just spent time together. We fished, grilled some more, drank some more beer, took a long nap, got some sun. Oh it was a great day. And the weekend was so nice too so that made it even better. Sunday we woke up early...Tim woke up at 5:00 and I finally crawled out of bed around 7:00, we headed out to the race track around 8:00. We were trying to beat all the major traffic which we didn't. We still got caught in a gridlock. Their were over 200,000 people there so just imagine. The race was awesome!! I've never been so interested in a sporting event in my life. We had so much fun!!! And I'm a race fan now, so that made Tim happy. Whats really cool is they let you bring in coolers, and bags so we took in food and beer that way we didn't have to spend money there. Even though we did! I got a sweet pink dale jr shirt which I immediately put on..so I didn't get to show off my shirt that I made the night before. Boo! Jr didn't win, Gorden did! another big BOO!! and Tony Stewart got a little hot headed and after crashing into the wall ran onto the track and flicked another racer off...It was a little crazy! I've never seen so many rednecks all together in my life. So that was entertaining. We hung around about an hour and half after the race so we wouldn't get stuck in traffic. We played some frisbee and then layed a blanket on the grass and took a nap in the shade before heading back to camp. I was so sad to leave this morning. I had such a fun time, and I gaurantee I will go back again. We decided that we're going to go every year now and make it a ritual...that way when we get old and gray our kids will have something to talk about when they make Talladega a ritual! It's exciting! That's all for now.
