Daytona 500

I had forgotten that I didn't post our Daytona pictures yet! So a little late, but here they are. This was the front of the view from our camping spot. Facing Turn 4.

We liked it alot, and have already reserved it for 2010.

The spot next to us just had a tent which the guy only slept in, because his friends were far away, said he didn't mind the kids playing between our two spots. How lucky is that?!

This was the view to our right facing the middle of turn 3 & 4. This is how we got that great view!! Mike did such an awesome job building this! Most people had very rickety platforms. But there was no way we were going to let our kids sit on something they could fall from easily. It gave us a great view of our campsite too. We had our flags up and umbrellas. We even had a heavy duty mesh fence around it! No kids (or mommys) falling off. We even velcroed cup holders to it. Zachary lost a tooth while we were there!

Good thing that the tooth fairy is so capable of finding us!

This was during the Gatorade Duels. The boys were zonked from the fun day we had. One the nights we were there, we went to a campsite that was playing movies and had games and stuff for the kids. They had all the kids write their names on a piece of paper, then at the end of the movie, a name was drawn and that child won the movie.

Zachary won! We were really happy with our set up. We have so much camping stuff that we could easily live in the woods. We went outside of the track to do some souvenir shopping. My kids learned very quickly last year how much money they made by walking next to the trucks and looking for coins. So they walked. to. every. single. trailer. Probably 50+ trailers! But they did find several dollars total. What scavengers! This was a complete high light for them! They also had a little down time. We laid the blankets down on the grass for our floor. We had a really fun time. But we were very disappointed that it rained out the end of the race. We got jipped out of a full race. No fair! Just hanging out watching the races. Now that is what we call a fun weekend! Damn those clouds! We had to close everything up do to the rain. Camping in rain is not fun. Other than the rain, we had a blast!!Cant wait till 2010!!
