I couldn't even begin to tell you the excitement that the kids showed when we told them we were going to another race. They were so excited, jumping up and down, and wanted to get to the race right that second. Unfortunately, for them we had a couple weeks to wait until we would get into the car and drive 3 hours to Bristol, TN.
I could never thank the USO enough for providing us with those tickets. Courtney and I both received tickets through the USO and all we had to do is get tickets for the kids. They even provided us with awesome seats. The USO and the speedway made everything so easy.
The down side of having Bristol 3 hours away from us, is that we had to keep an eye on the weather. We were just going to make it a very long day of it and not get a motel room. So, we needed to make sure we weren't heading to Bristol and there not be a race. We kept an eye on the weather a week out and each day the forecast for Sunday became a higher percentage for rain. Saturday night, we decided that we weren't going to waste a trip to Bristol Sunday morning with the chance of rain being 80%.
Thankfullly, we went with our gut feeling about the rain because the race got cancelled and rescheduled for Monday afternoon.
Monday morning, we were off to the race!
It seemed like it took forever to get to the track, but once we got there, it was all worth it. We couldn't wait to get to our seats and watch the race. And yes, the kids love watching the cars and sat through the whole thing, other then the few bathroom breaks.
