NASCAR
In February, Rod's brother, David, and his son, Jon, came down from Sacramento for a weekend of NASCAR races. Through a contact at church, we ended up with 4 tickets in the Toyota executive suite. We had seats (both outdoors & indoors) just above pit road, buffet lunch and unlimited drinks, and free Scan-view for the weekend, so we could listen to different channels. If you're not into NASCAR that doesn't mean much, but for us, it was great! Of course, our favorite drivers didn't win, but we still had fun.
CANCER RELAY-FOR-LIFE
In April a club from Rod's school participated in the 24-hour American Cancer Society Relay-for-Life. As a cancer survivor, Carolyn got to walk in the first lap. I'm getting too old to stay up all night in the freezing wind--especially when the teenagers won't stay up!
DISNEYLAND
For Carolyn's birthday in February, I got her 4 days of Disneyland passes. We finally got to go a couple of weeks ago, and had a great time. It's nice not feeling like you have to do everything in one day. We saw a great "Aladdin" show at the Hyperion Theater in California Adventure, then had one of the best meals we've ever had at the Cafe Orleans in Disneyland. We couldn't get into the Blue Bayou, so we had to "settle" for something less. It was great! The "less" was the price. We stayed until fireworks, then relaxed listening to a swing band before the long drive home.
Mostly we do schoolwork and yard work -- both of which seem to be perpetual.
