Thursday morning we loaded up the car and headed for Denver for a race. We LOVE road trips! It was supposed to be something around 750 miles, taking about 11 hours, but we were planning on taking some scenic detours and stopping A LOT. We knew that it was going to take us a lot longer than 11 hours. LoL So we drove through Zions which is always beautiful. I love the tunnel up there. It's amazing. After that we stopped at a lot of scenic pullouts and took lots of pictures. It was a lot of fun. Right before we came into Denver there was another pass to go over and it was FREEZING! We took a picture of the thermometer in the car because it said it was 37 degrees outside! CRAZY I really wish that we would have gotten to go over this pass in the daytime because it looked like it would have been beautiful. We got to the track at about 2 AM and went straight to bed. The next morning when we woke up it was pouring. That obviously meant no racing. We had to make an emergency run to Wal Mart for some warm clothes because all I had packed us was shorts and tank tops. LoL So we sat around for 2 DAYS playing cards, watching movies, and trying to stay warm. Sunday morning the rain finally cleared up, they started to dry the track and we were ready to race! Wayne's dad got to go 2 passes and then we loaded everything up. We had heard earlier in the day that they were going to close the pass because of snow so we loaded up my car in the trailer and headed to Casper. I was looking forward to seeing Wayne's home town. We got to Casper about midnight. We were all exhausted and headed to bed. Unfortunately the next morning we didn't have a lot of time to visit because we had to start heading home, but Wayne did show me a couple houses that he had lived in and I finally got to meet his best friend Wade. It was a good visit. Driving this way is about 12 hours, so we knew it would take us about 14. LoL We ended up not making it the whole way. We got to St. George at 1 AM and had to stop at my moms to sleep. Then we got up early the next morning and got Wayne home in time to go to work. The poor guy was so exhausted yesterday! It was a good long weekend and we all had a lot of fun, but I think it's going to take us a weekend at home to recuperate. :)
