A Trip to the NASCAR Hall Of Fame

Well, it has been a while since I posted on this here blog.  I have been wanting to take a trip to the NASCAR Hall of Fame since it opened, and yesterday I took the kiddos there for a little bit of fun with daddy.  Here is a photo diary of our trip!

They really didn't care where we were going son long as we took the train/light rail!

The obligatory "we are going to take your picture so we can sell it to you for a *small* fee picture."

Standing in front of my favorite car!

The back end of "Glory Road".  Notice the banking and the railing where you can walk and see what 33 degrees of banking feels like.  Annabelle asked how race cars don't fall down on the race track.

My favorite driver when I was a kid...Cale Yarborough.

They have some good interactive things.  Here Annabelle and Eli pick up a mini-gas can for a pit stop.


And you have to change the tires!


Here they are in front of Annabelle's favorite car.  Yes, she tried to eat the M&Ms off the car.

Since mommy's favorite candy are Reese's, Annabelle requested this picture for her.

Eli and Annabelle with the Fabulous Hudson Hornet (AKA Doc from Cars).

A neat Jeff Gordon die cast collection.

 Chillin with some M&Ms.

Earnhardt!

If you are in or make it to Charlotte, it is worth the trip.  I did not get a chance to ride in the simulator...it was popular.  The next stop on our racing trips...hitting the track!!!

Happy Anniversary LOML

Chrissy, Happy 8th Anniversary!

These past 8 years of wedded bliss (and the year and a half of courtship bliss) have been quite a ride. You are a dream come true, and I am blessed to be able to call you my wife.

You are a wonderful mother who I have learned a lot from. You are a great friend who always knows what to say.

You are my steady rock, unwavering when I need to lean on you.

You are the best football official's wife I know! Even if I knew others, you would still be the best.

My love for you builds daily.

Thank you for who you are and what you do.

I thank God that he blessed me with you and our children.

I love you!

This is who comes...

...when your CO alarm goes off. Thankfully, it was a false alarm. All I needed was a new detector.
