Day 116 - April 26, 2010

Ok, remind me to never again drive the whole way back from Talladega, AL in one night. We left not long after the race was done to drive 16 hours back to Connecticut overnight. We did stop a few places along the way, but it was rainy, and dark, and cold, and we were so so tired! On the way down, it's not so bad because you're excited to be going somewhere and looking forward to the experience. On the way back however, it's slow and exhausting. It didn't help that the weather was terrible! Rain continued through the overnight until we got back to the house at around 2pm and through the evening as well. Definitely not a great return, but I was glad to be home, and glad to see my Daisy-doo and my bunnies!

Until Tomorrow,

Day 114 - April 24, 2010

This morning we woke up in Atlanta and were heading out to Alabama for the race tomorrow. Turns out that the Weather Channel had a surprise in store for us. Huge thunderstorms and tornado warnings were heading our way! We would end up driving right towards the storm cells in one of the biggest storms of the year so far. I've never ever experienced a tornado so I was really nervous, but it was for naught. Just a bunch of wind and some heavy rain, but no tornados thank goodness! We stopped at the Alabama state line to snap a shot of the sign, and then made our way to the hotel to get ready for the race tomorrow! It's gonna be a blast - can't wait!

Until Tomorrow,

Athina
