off to the races

Boyfriend and I had an amazing memorial day weekend which culminated in a day at the races. Things started a little shaky. We woke up to pouring rain, which was a bit disconcerting. Even more disconcerting was that the alarm didn't go off and we overslept by three hours. Someone bumped into the alarm clock while sleeping and disloged the wire. That someone was not me. But there was no time to dicuss these minor details as we grabbed whatever we could remember and jumped in the car.

Halfway there, we realized we had no food. This was a major problem as boyfriend must eat every two hours or he becomes extremely cranky. After deciding the fastest and cheapest course of action was to stop at the next grocery store we saw, we split up, running up and down the aisles like crazy people. We ended up with three bags of chips, a footlong turkey sub, sliced pineapple chunks, popcorn chicken, and famous amos chocolate chip cookies. A bit of an overkill.

However, it was all worth it once we arrived and staked our ground. The cars were ah-mazing. Boyfriend knew exactly what model each car was, even though they looked like ants from where we were sitting. And we even arrived in time to join the fan walk, which consisted of me oohing and ahing as we got a close look at all the cars. Unfortunately, we forgot the sunblock in the trunk. So we are now burnt to a crisp. Still, the day was fun and fabulous. And definitely worth the craziness.
