My mom, ever so graciously, came and watched the trio of boys from a Friday to a Thursday while I jet-setted off to foreign Georgia, USA.
It was Sam's last US-based race this season. So, to be honest, after some ups and downs in our marriage as of late, it was decided that maybe we needed a little time together.
Friday: Enjoyed the flight from Vegas to Atlanta. Did not enjoy, so much, getting thorougly confused when two interstates joined and threw my mile marker mojo way off. I made it, though.
Saturday: Confiscated the GPS from Sam and then began to enjoy crusing around in my little rental. Watched Sam's race. But, it was 12 hours. Enjoyed it even more after a 3 hour stint at the Mall of Georgia and returning to the hotel to watch the last hour via television with Popeye's Chicken in one hand and a smoothie in the other.
Sunday: Didn't really want to break the Sabbath, but God doesn't really look in on those Southern Baptists in Georgia, does He? I just kind of blended in with the rest of them as I spent two glorious hours perusing the merchandise at Target. Went to the ALMS banquet (see pics below) before jet-setting, once again, off in our luxe mode of transportation: Andrus truck #676.
Monday: Delivered the car/equipment to Orlando airport, found Orlando hotel, also found Orlando factory stores.
Tuesday: Outsmarted David, our timeshare salesman. He said we'd part as friends, but we don't think he really meant it. Hahah, joke's on you David! Free breakfast and thank you for paying $100 toward our Magic Kingdom tickets, sucker! DisneyWorld, I mean the "Magic Kingdom," was fun. Last time I was there was 1988. I think I still smiled as big as I did when I was 8 years old.
Wednesday: Disney's Hollywood Studios. Do NOT waste your time.
Thursday: Home to SG again. Sam and I parted ways at 3 am. I was off to the airport where I was back in SG by 3 pm. Sam arrived....well, days and days later.

Food, that I thought was actually pretty good.
Sam didn't know how to eat it. He wanted McDonald's.
Andrus Trucking makes it to Paddock Row. The Flying Lizards team rented a trailer from Andrus for some stuff. It made it front and center.
And I HATE, HATE, HATE pics of myself lately, but I had to post this one. On the left is Lord Paul Drayson, owner and driver, and Johnny Cocker. I think I weigh more than both of them :(

Jackie I am so glad you posted! I have been dying to hear about your family!! I would love to see some Halloween pics of the boys!
Two hours perusing the aisles of Target...can't think of a better get-away than that. Take care of you down there in SG.
Hey girl, I know how it feels to hate pictures of yourself. I'm right there with you...however, I think you look awesome, so try not to be so hard on yourself! Yay for time with your man!
I love your timeshare story and I'm so glad you told your "friend" NO!! What is on your plate at that banquet- it looks like a head of lettuce??!!! I don't think I've ever seen Sam in a suit! Glad you were able to go.
Jackie! YOU look great!! And, you came right through Jacksonville I think? You didn't even stop to see me! Just kidding, I don't even know if you came through Jax. Glad you had a good time at Disney. Did you go on the Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios??
I have not checked my fav blogs for awhile and I love your latest posts. You look awesome next to those skinny-wienes. You are the right size, I think they might have an eating disorder :). Glad you had a good trip. Remember I am always willing to take your brude if needed.
