Dover...Here We Come!

We are SO VERY excited!! Our family members are HUGE NASCAR fans....my husband and I usually have my SIL watch the kids and we go to a race for our anniversary. God had different plans this year! She said "no, she couldn't"! GASP! We were a little shocked and bummed and j=kinda just blew it off after that...thinking we just wouldn't go this year. We then got the "brilliant" idea....let's ALL go! We looked into going to the track that we normally go to...and tickets would be over $500 for all 9 of us...ouch! That doesn't count all the other stuff...lodging, food, gas...etc. SO, we looked at other tracks and found the best deal! Dover, DE has an awesome deal....we (Rob & I) buy our tickets and all kids under 14 get in for $10~ that's IT! Our tickets were only $246! We don't get "the" seats we would have would it have just been Rob & I...we are sitting on turn 3...not great...but that's OK. It is also Ty's birthday weekend...and Savannah's is right after...we thought we should make it a big deal :0) We are going to stay at a Jellystone park for 4 days!! You know....with Yogi Bear! We rented a cabin and a campsite right next door! This is the longest vacation we have taken as a family of 9...we are thrilled and just can't wait until May 13th so we can GO!

ps...just so you know...when you watch the race on tv...and you see a really large, dorky family all decked out in Ryan Newman gear...that will take 4 of my babysitting checks to buy...that's us! Go #39...Go ARMY! Whoo0-Hoo!
