What a great weekend! I had a blast in Bristol. I would have posted pics sooner, but, to be honest, I've just been lazy.

My poor sister wound up having strep and got some meds Saturday morning but she felt a little pooey on the drive up to Pigeon Forge. We finally got there and she was feeling better, we went out to dinner and the gang rode some go-carts. We went back to the hotel and hung out while some of the peeps with us had a couple of choice drinks. We were practicing being some rednecks for the race on Sunday, which led to my picture of the day.


Sunday morning we got up at 4 a.m. Eastern time so 3 a.m. our time to get ready for Bristol. I have never tailgated for an event in my life until Sunday. We got to the track about 8 a.m Eastern and hung out at the car until about 12. Some of the peeps again partook in some choice drinks while we just hung out. We played a really fun game which I was actually good at. Stephanie and Shawn dressed up as redneck as they could which became one of the pictures of the day because honestly it takes guts to wear the stuff they wore.

The race experience was amazing. All the trailors set up with merchandise, the hike up the track, just everything. It was a good race. My boys did good. I was excited. After the race we hiked up the tallest hill I've ever walked up in my life. My thighs were cramping and it felt like the more you went forward the more you went backward. The trip back was kind of funny because we were all so tired from getting up early and just the excitement so most of us fell asleep. So we wound up not making our turn and wound up across the Virginia state line. We finally got turned around and go back to Pigeon Forge LATE.










Monday was just driving back home. It was St. Patricks Day so I took a picture of me in my green hat that prevented me from being pinched.
Tuesday, I unloaded boxes of stuff that mom gave me for school and made a trip to Wally World. It was a nice lazy day. When dad got home we did some stuff on the tractor. I put Sophie up there because she loves to ride. That was my pic for the day.
Today, I went and looked at some houses. I found one I really liked so I may look into it a little bit more. I ran by school to do some things and wound up just checking my mail. Then I had to go to the dentist. Fun! Then it was cool enough we built a fire in the fireplace. I love fires, but I'm ready for some warmer weather.
Ok, this is already so long, I'll just post my what I love about mes tomorrow. Peace!
