So the money I've been socking away for plane fare can now be earmarked for nephew spoilage!
Nephew spoilage is the BEST. Yay dad!
at Road Atlanta in 2002 in a Nissan GTP car.
Yikes! No open wheel is a good family rule.
Does Road Atlanta still have that red, red clay soil everywhere? Our cars would start off white... Didn't so much end up that way.
Cindy, it's like I don't even
know
you anymore...

Oh yeah! It's unavoidable. One of my brothers had a little mishap there awhile back. The entire tub of the car was red. The car is yellow. We just took a hose to it and washed it out.

That reminds me. I need to figure out what I'm getting for my nephew. He's turning 2 on Wednesday.
Yep, hosing out the tub is your only choice. Getting it out of the driving suits was even worse. Now I want to call my dad and chatter at him as well. If he knew much about my invisible friends, he would love this conversation.

A kart! Obviously he's too young for a car.
I bet the cars win.
They lost against the F-18 last time I saw them try that. I think. I am not positive though and too lazy to search for that video.
Also? Phhhhbbbbllllt!
I bet the cars win.
Don't spoil me for Pixar's Cars!

Sadly, he hasn't quite gotten the race car bug the way his almost 4 year nephew has. My 3yrold nephew has already requested of his Opa for his 4th bday party a Porsche birthday party. It's too cute.
Besides, I'll let the grandparents spoil the grandkids and get in trouble with my sister-in-law for encouraging them to race. I was debating with her the other night at dinner about how driving a racecar is safer than driving a regular car (save for Porsches, BMWs, Mercedes, and a few others).
Getting it out of the driving suits was even worse.
Getting out of the suit is only bad if you're wet too. Though washing them is another story. :P
My 13-y.o. niece is easy to shop for--earrings, earrings, earrings, the danglier the better. She wants to set a record for Biggest Earring Collection (no, seriously!). It used to be All Shoes, All the Time (when she was in preschool, no less), so at least this is cheaper, and much easier to buy without her being there to make sure they fit.
Mom's out visiting my sister right now (she just had her stomach stapled last week), and they're going to spend the next day or two making jewelry. When Courtney (the niece) came out to visit Kris (the sister) over the summer, she was thrilled when Kris took her to the bead shop in Olympia, WA, which I've heard is humongous.
I'm starting to look for cool and unusual earrings already at some of the more eclectic boutiques for Xmas gifts for both Kris and Courtney, and maybe Mom as well.

Don't spoil you? Did you turn into a pod-person with your weekend away, or from your recent experiments of eating food while it was still hot?

The cars get their kicks on route 66. For reals.
