Feeding the Obsession - Need for Speed!

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story!

My Birthday Weekend in Daytona

What a weekend! It was so relaxing and fun-filled at the same time. Rudy and soaked up the sun at the pool and on the beach, we walked in the twilight, ate good food, went to Daytona USA and as a gift from Rudy we took part in the Petty Driving Experience with three laps around the high-banks of Daytona International Speedway on Sunday morning in a Car of Tomorrow! It was awesome! Going 165 miles per hour is such a rush! We also took a drive up to Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and walked through through the museum which included the 203 circular-step trip up to the top of the Lighthouse to see the Atlantic ocean for 25 miles! It was spectacular and I highly recommend it to anyone in that area. Just follow A1A north as far as you can go and you will see the signs. On our way home we stopped and did a little shopping at the mall and dinner at Don Pablos before heading home to reality and back to work! It was a great weekend and one I'll not soon forget!

Heading to Venice, FL for the 4th of July on Friday (june 29) for a look at the Gulf Beaches. See ya on the Road!

Father's Day Celebration - 2007

Our Father's Day celebrations lasted all weekend long. It started with a visit to a local State Park on Friday with Elani (Wekiva Springs State Park) for an evening walk in the out of doors.

Then Saturday night we met Travis and Rosa for dinner. Sunday, Rudy chose to spend his Father's Day on the Bike, so we left the house around 9 a.m. and headed north to Clermont to an Arts & Crafts Exhibit at Lakeridge Winery. We also took a tour of the Winery and learned how Florida wines are made and what grapes they use. It was very interesting and a beautiful day for a ride. We arrived home just in time to watch the NASCAR Race from Michigan. Afterwards Travis and Rosa and the kids stopped by again to present Rudy with more cards gifts of love. It was a great weekend, the weather was perfect and we enjoyed being out and about in the Florida sunshine!

Thursday we are on the road again heading towards Daytona Beach for a nice long weekend on the Beach soaking up the sun by the pool and ocean side!

See ya on the Road!

June 13, 2007

He folks! It's been really quiet at our house and we've been staying home for a change (for awhile anyway). We've had some very nice relaxing weekends at home and at the beach lately, so it's been quite nice to get a few things done around the house. We've been to the beach each Sunday and then home to watch the NASCAR race in the afternoon. And of course we've had little Elani with us for some days during these past couple of weeks. Pictures??? Of course I have pictures! I've even gotten some scrapbook pages completed during this time of rest and relaxing at home.
Today is an exciting day, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is expected to announce that he is joining Hendrick Motor Sports in 2008 which will make him a team mate to Jeff Gordon...... I am not sure what I think about it yet so I will reserve my opinion for now......
This weekend will be Father's Day, so I've invited Rudy, Travis, Rosa and the kids to go to dinner to celebrate. Don't tell the guys, but last night Elani and I put her handprints on a t-shirt for her grandpa and papa and today Rosa is going to add Lenix's prints so that they will be dry and ready to wrap before Sunday! So Cute. (I'll share pictures after Sunday).
