Saturday Afternoon: Matty Is Here
Terry and I headed out to see the Nationwide race and being that it was Saturday we only needed our wristbands and could sit anywhere we pleased (unless someone else was already in a particular seat of course). We sat for about an hour but it was so loud and I was so hungry we decided to bolt and look for food and find the Fan View kit so we could see and hear from our own camp site.
I got back and decided a brief nap was in order and when I woke up Darin had returned from picking up his youngest, Matty, as the next participant at the race. It’s really nice having the young soul with us… something to keep us all on our toes and add some entertainment for the rest of the weekend. I really wish I would have brought Ben or Abby but I thought it was going to be too chaotic. Next year, for sure.
On our way back from the track I played with some of the employees who happened to be in a 6-seater golf cart and asked for a ride. Rather than make the 1000 yard walk we got a ride to within 100 feet of our campsite. Very cool of them. They’re local folks living just ten minutes away from the track. And again, very cool to give me and Terry a break from the walking.
Having a beer in near perfect weather (it might even be a bit cooler than I’d like!) and sitting around the camp with Darin, Kent and Terry. Things are pretty good right now. Oh, except AT&T’s SMS isn’t working, even though I have full signal. Been trying to reply to Kerri for a couple of hours but nothing will go out. 🙁 Gonna send her an email and then visit with the Navy guys for a bit.
