Since Dustin and I have been together he has been trying to get me to drink the NASCAR kool-aid. For the past five years I have been reluctant. Watching cars go around a circle 200+ times never seemed like my idea of fun. Knowing how much Dustin enjoys it and that he has never been to a Talladega, I wanted to surprise him. I got in touch with his twin brother and planned to meet up with them there. I kept the secret up until the night before we were getting ready to leave. We went to Wal-Mart to buy food for while we were camping. I kept putting more food than Dustin thought two people needed. Every time I would put food for four in the cart Dustin would take some out. He finally started to get frustrated with me and I had to spill the beans. Heres were I get lazy...I'll let my sister in law explain the rest of the day.
Devin was a little "tired" and his brother was feeling a little "silly"
Devin didnt think to check the chair for water after the rain. He got his bum a little wet and was trying to dry off near our puny fire!
Bub and me on pit road! I didnt realize until we were close up to the cars that even the headlights were stickers.
Despite feeling awful, I managed to have a great time. It was nice to hang out with Devin and Erin away from the holiday hustle and bustle. To get more into the race I picked a driver, Clint Bowyer 15, while we were down on pit road before the race. We are planning on going back to the spring race in a few months. Hopefully this trip doesn't result in bronchitis. :)
