Daytona!!!! Day One!

Ok let me first say this should have been on here last week but I have been busy busy... you will see... We actually did this trip Valentines weekend...


Tim and I were invited to go along with our friends Alan and Sherry to Daytona Beach, Florida to watch the Budweiser Shootout and to watch Sherry wave the flag for Kevin Harvick for qualifing on Sunday.  Let me just say we had an fabulous weekend!

It started Friday morning, we got up and got Zach off to school then Alan & Sherry came and picked us up.  We had a great trip we ended up having a little bit of a lay over in Charlotte which was great we ended up eating at a nascar themed cafe in the airport then it was off to Daytona!

Airport baggage..

Entrace to turn 4

 Jr and Jimmie Johnson.. look how close they are!!

After Dinner at Chili's it was time to try to make it over for the finish to the Budweiser Draw party..This is where the drivers learn where they will be running for the Budweiser Shootout.  They have a line of Budweisers bottles on a Bar and the drivers pick their bottle and then the bottle will have a number and that is what tells them the order they will line up.

Come on we can't go to a Budweiser event without seeing a Bud Girl...
