The weekend is almost here!!!

So, since I will be very busy tomorrow, I won't have time to post about what we are doing on our extended weekend! This weekend has been, for the past 10 or so years, been a family weekend. We head up to Indianapolis, Indiana for some good ol fashion fun...

Friday:

Indiana is about 7.5 hours from here, so we're taking 1/2 days off work tomorrow to head to my hometown to meet up with the rest of my family and then we will head off to Indiana. We should arrive around 10:00 pm... We will be greeted with drinks and snacks and then head to bed.

Saturday:

We will be up early because my two youngest cousins will be sure we don't get to sleep in past 7. Jesse and I have planned to go running first thing Saturday morning if we aren't too tired from lack of sleep! My two aunts, Grandma, Mom and myself will then head out shopping for a bit and I plan to hit up my two favorite stores that we do not have anywhere around here..... So we'll be going here and here.... I am sooooooo excited! After shopping, we'll head back to my aunts house for our usual cookout and relax the rest of the night.

Sunday:

This my friends.... Is Race Day!! My uncle is an engineer for the Ganassi Target Racing Team and last year they did not disappoint in the Indy 500 with a 1st place finish!! :-) We wake up very early, get everyone ready and head down to the track. There are millions of fans and it is really a sight to see.... I'm pretty good at taking pics on this day, so I'll be sure to take some for you all! After we get there, we find our seats, grab some world famous, delicious, margarita's & bloody marys to start off the race! The weather looks amazing holding steady at 80 degrees and sunny! Say a prayer for us so that it doesn't rain! 2 years ago it rained, they had to clear the track off, dry it off and then start the race up again, three different times..... Then it was canceled. So anyway, we are not avid race fans, but this is a family event. This year my mom and my brother's fiance will be gracing us with their presence, so it will be even more exciting!

Monday:

This is the day we make the long trek home...... So hopefully there will be plenty of resting up for work on Tuesday...

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!! Anything special planned?
