Saturday Eric and Kevin (co-worker) decided that we would be going to the NASCAR race in Milwaukee. It was a pretty spur of the moment decision but we hopped in the car and got on our way. We should have planned our route better though because a trip that should have taken around 2 hours took us at least 4! We drove right through Chicago and hit traffic the entire way! Needless to say, we were pretty excited to get there! Below is a picture of me and the guy who's house we parked at. He lived right across the street from the racetrack and was standing right out in the road with his flag trying to get people to pull in. He told us the story of how he broke his foot ("runnin after his old lady for a cigarette, and he was sober when he did it!") I just couldn't let this photo-opp go by. He had told us before the race he'd quit drinking for 2 days but when we got back out, he told us he was 2 - 12 packs deep. Nice.
Good thing we brought our ear plugs! We had a great time!
Edwards was the winner of the race. I was rooting for the Go Daddy car because it was painted pretty until Eric pointed out to me that there was a Long John Silvers car! I rooted for that one all the way but no luck.
Needless to say I was the one who drove us home; Kevin had a good time. It was a really long day, we got home at 2:00. But it was a lot of fun and nice to get out of town for the day.
