Monday Funday.

Here are some pictures we have from the race from Tj's phone; ill put the rest up later:




So this weekend was crazy to say the least.
Friday, me and T drove home after class. It was our first long road trip together. We did pretty good for the most part. Only minor bickering about speed limits and such but thats not normal if your me and are a complete passenger seat driver. We actually did really well when you factoring that in.
Anyways, I was only home for a short time so I got to have dinner with my mom and Jenna and Tj's parents. And after I stopped by and got to hangout with Ashley for a little. I would have liked to be home for longer but I just didn't have time. We had the Richmond race on saturday with Tj, his cousin, and his cousin's 2 friends. I definitely had to learn to hang with the guys, being the only girl.
But, Saturday we were up at 5:00 am to get ready to leave for the race (and yes I mean Nascar race). We got there at around 8am in Richmond and the place was already pretty busy. All the rednecks had their tents up, their racing gear on, and cooking breakfast on their mini grills. We had these two old guys set up next to us and I swear they were trying to get me drunk. Right after we set up they were handing me jello shooters and the rest of the day they were making me margaritas. But for the most part we hungout, tailgated, and played games all day. Like blongball and LCR. 
But I had the most fun just people watching. There were so many funny drunk people tailgating and during the race. People just did not pace themselves thats for sure. There was this one guy who just passed out under someone's van. Like his upper half was under the van and the rest of him wasn't. How he got in that position is beyond me.
The race didn't start till about 8pm. But actually being at the race is so crazy. It is loud as hell and really no matter where your sitting, you seem pretty close to the track. There weren't as many crashes as I would have liked and after a couple hours of watching the cars move in a circle you start to just zone out and go into a daze, well at least I did.
But the race ended up ending at around 12 and we ended up sleeping in our cars, definitely not 
the most comfortable situation but I survived. The next morning we got up to head back to philly and made pretty good timing.
Thankfully I don't have school tomorrow (Tuesday) due to my school's "Day of Service" so I have that time to finish recovering from this weekend. But I have to say that I don't think it will be my last race. All in all I had a successful fun weekend.


This is from 2 weekends ago; me and Tj made delicious cinnamon wheat pancakes with a side of bananas and blueberries.YUMM
