Friends in NC


Our friends came down New Years Eve and stayed for a few days. They brought the MI weather with them b/c it was cold and windy the whole time they were here. Of course the next week was in the 60's. We had a busy week actually. We visited a lot of Nascar Shops since there are alot around us. It was cool to see where they actually work on the cars and it was amazing to see how clean their shops were. You would almost dare eat off the floors, but probably not. They were just really clean though. We took a tour of Lowe' Motor Speedway and got to go on track in a 15 passenger van. I think our driver got up to about 75 mph so that was cool. Then we got to stand in Victory Lane and go on pit row. The girls did a little shopping but I must say we mostly visited a ton of race shops. Lot of in and out of the van. It was something that Pete and I would probably not go do by ourselves, so we were glad we had others to enjoy it with. Next time they come down they want to take a driving class offered at the track cause then they can go really fast around track in a car. Pay money to pretty much poop their pants. It would be a cool experience though.
We were happy that it worked out for them to come down and Pete didn't have a whole lot going on at work that week so he was able to join us. It was a fun week.
