Joe Gibbs and Hendrick Motorsports

It's race weekend and we still don't have our stuff. So, what better way to start off our first weekend in North Carolina, then doing some exploring to see what's going on. 

Only a couple miles down the road from us is Joe Gibbs. I'm not a fan of some of his drivers, but it's still cool to see the cars up close and see the mechanics working on the cars for the next race. 



We really wanted to go to the race, but we just weren't prepared for it. There was so much going on there and we could have walked around to see some things, but we didn't have a stroller and it was a really warm day, so we decided just to drive around it to see everything and hopefully when they race again here in October, we will be able to go! McKaila did say it would be a great birthday present!



Our next stop and my favorite stop, was at Hendrick Motorsports.  This place is so cool and I know we will find ourselves coming here often. It's pretty cool that the store is also a museum, so the kids, especially Logan, loved seeing all the cars!

 And across from the road from the store/museum was the car garages. On one side is the 48 (Jimmy Johnson) and 88 (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and on the other side is the 5 (Kasey Kane) and 24 (Chase Elliot) Inside was so cool. Seeing all the trophies and the cars was so cool!
