First overnight trip: success!
We left Friday afternoon with my car and philips car loaded up.

We dropped Jackson off on the farm and got on the way. Since we had to take 2 cars, we had walkie talkies to communicate with each other. It was way easier than cell phones and much less dangerous. Philip made me pick a 'handle' and taught me trucker lingo like referring to cops as 'smokies'. We stopped to eat dinner and feed Ainsley at Skyline:) She slept pretty much the whole way which made me so nervous about sleeping that night. We got to the hotel around 10 that night which was perfect for her feeding schedule. I fed her while Philip changed his tires. We put her in her Rock-N-Play, turned on her sound machine and baby girl proceeded to sleep 9 hours. she is a ROCK.STAR.
That morning us girls met Philip at Putnam Park Race Track after we both woke up and got ready. It was a little chilly in the morning so beanie and I hung out in the clubhouse. The second floor is all windows and you can see the whole track from there. and it was heated. we were happy girls:)
When I say 'race' it technically isn't racing against other drivers. You are racing against yourself and your own times. That being said, you do pass other cars around the track and it becomes obvious who the fastest car and driver are. After being there and watching Philip race, I can confidently say my husband is a bad a$$. Him and Godzilla (the GTR) were the fastest out there. People were always coming up to him to talk about his car, his tires, etc. cracked me up.

It was fun to get to watch Philip race his car. A little nerve wracking, especially when he fishtails at 140 mph. but it is something he loves doing. and it is nice to be involved with that. As our preacher says 'be interested in what the person you love is interested in'. jon is so smart.
