Hello, It was a warm humid day today. It rained someplace near by but not here. It was cloudy all day though. Molly got a hair cut and looks so cute. I changed sheets today so guess I will be in my favorite place, ;-/, the laundromat, tomorrow. I made another batch of salsa. I got it a bit hotter than I wanted but Mel likes it.
The weekend was fun. We left here Sat. morning about 7:30 am and took Molly to the puppy sitter. She couldn't figure out why she couldn't go along. She was so glad to see us when we got back. The sitter said she pouted all weekend. We met friends for lunch in Vegas then on to our hotel. We stayed at the Palace Station hotel/casino.
After supper we drove out to the track to try to get an idea of where to go on Sunday. Seen a vendor along the way and I got a Mark Martin t-shirt to wear to the race. Then we just drove threw the Vegas strip to see the night lights. We didn't go in any of them. Back to the hotel and our room. Sunday morning we left for the track by 8:00. We picked up some sandwich meat and bread (our tail gate party meal. ha!!) and had breakfast at Micky Dee's.
We got a pretty good parking spot. It seemed close to the grandstand not realizing our seats were way at the other end. And all up hill to get there. Can't say that I didn't walk today!!!
We checked out all the vendors but was nothing found that we wanted. I planned to get a Mark Martin jacket but the only one they had didn't even have his name or number on it. Our seats were way up in the 73 row. I was so happy to see an elevator. It took us to the top so we only had to walk down 10 rows. We could see the whole track real good and Mark Martin's pit was right in front of us.
The race was good until Marks engine blew. And the one who won was not who I wanted. He did do a mean burn out!!
After the race we waited in the parking lot while some of the traffic went out. An older couple came by while looking for their car. Couldn't find it. So the lady sat with me while Mel went to help the man. It was so dark out. No lights in the parking lot so they used flash lights. We left 2 hrs after the race and it still was bumper to bumper traffic. It took us almost 2 hrs to go 10 miles.
Back at the hotel and rested a bit. I decided to try my luck in the casino. But I wasn't lucky. I had fun and came out only $12 in the hole. not to bad I guess.
We left on Monday morning about 9:30. We went to the NASCAR cafe for breakfast.
I wasn't impressed with the place. I expected much more. Everything was so expensive so didn't get any souvenirs there.
We got home and picked up Molly at 5. We were so tired. It was an early bed time.
Well bedtime after I watched "24".
Tonight we went to the little sidewalk restaurant in our park and had a steak and lobster supper. Oh so good!
Now watching American Idol. I have to say that none of them win my vote so far. Good night and God Bless.
