Time to Race

Next stop of the day Pole Position Raceway. Mike and Caleb read about Pole Position in the traveler's guide and decided it needed to be on our "to do" list!

There was a huge audience waiting to watch us race around the track!

Ok. Maybe there wasn't a big audience, but it was a good sized indoor race track...

And they had some stylin' socks and shoes for sandal wearers to put on!

We also had to put on a head sock and helmet!
The cars went up to 45 mph and we were racing for the fastest lap. Mike crossed the finish line first, but he missed having the fastest lap by a fraction of a second (there were several others on the track with us).

After the race, we headed back to our hotel to rest. For dinner we went to the Mexican restaurant, Isla, that was located in our hotel. Yumm!

Audria and I went to their hotel room after dinner to watch a movie (Monster-in-Law) while the guys headed to Wal-Mart to get some groceries. We planned to go down to the Sirens of TI show at 11:30 tonight, but we had all fallen asleep. Maybe we'll hit that show tomorrow night.

In the picture of Mike looking over the track, you can almost see the wheels turning in his head. I bet he was planning his strategy on how to win the race!

Staci and Audria make those racing shoes look good!

Love the photo of you three in the helmets.

Thank you for sharing your trip and I can't wait to see the rest of your vacation!
