Date Night!

Danny told me a week ago to book a sitter for six hours for Saturday night... he was taking me on a surprise date. I was so excited!

When Saturday finally arrived we had a last minute change in plans when he learned that one of his co-workers was getting baptized that same evening. So we postponed the date for an hour to go to that - totally worth it. Leaving the baptism Danny said he needed to run into a store really fast. Why? For earplugs... I thought I nailed it when I guessed Monster Truck Rally. Pretty close.

How about THE BULLRING at Las Vegas Motor Speedway!!

I guess we've seen "Cars" way too many times because we were totally expecting the racecars to start talking to us. We were looking all over for Lightning McQueen. Ka-CHOW!



IT WAS AWESOME!!

Danny's work catered a big shindig complete with burgers, dogs, beer (and sprite... phew!), tats, and rat-tails... if the shoe fits, right?


Speaking of shoes, check out these babies, and the matching belt.


Yes, it was a little awkward taking these pictures.


Vision Airlines sponsors two of the drivers. The "boys" were nice enough to let me take a picture with them. Here's Justin Johnson on my left and Dusty Ash on my right. Don't they look so little??? Am I getting old or something?!?


We were about ten feet away from the track at turn 4. Here's the aftermath of a crash that happened right in front of us. Towards the end of the video notice the girl at the front bumper with her ponytail coming out of her helmet... classic.



Anyway, even after extending the babysitting an extra hour and a half we still had to leave before the race ended. We were soooo bummed! When we left one of our drivers had moved up from 9th to 5th place... then, what do we find out:


Here's our driver Justin Johnson with the 1st place trophy in Victory Lane! Danny's signature is on the front of that car!! I can't believe we missed it!!! WAY TO GO JUSTIN!!!


Thanks for the rockin' date, babe. Luvs ya later.
