Nascar

Last Sunday I attended my first Nascar race.  If I had to describe it to you, the first word would be LOUD.  So happy we thought of bringing ear plugs.  I couldn't have sat there without them.  Next word, LOUD!.  Oops, said that already, so maybe it would be DIRTY.  So much invisible dust from tires in the air.  Whenever we applied some more sunscreen, we had streaks of dirt on our skin.  Even my fingernails were dirty.

A lot of people love Nascar though.  I really think I prefer it on TV IF I watch it.  You can't hear a thing.  Not even the person next to you.  So even though you see all these people, it's a very isolated "sport".  At least at a basketball or football game you can engage in conversation.

Also the cars go a lot faster than it seems on TV.  The aqua car in about 8th position is Matt Kenseth from my hometown.   Our 2 kids in Vegas and their significant others came with to enjoy the day.  We parked a few hours before race time and had some fun tailgating.

So I don't really get this "planking" but it was the object of quite a few pics.  We had great weather and soaked in the kids' spool(spa/pool)daily.  Except for a flight delay on our way home, we had fun!
