The Blasters and NASCAR!!!

The weekend of February 24th/25th was a lot of fun with Michele and David here to share it with us.
THE BLASTERS
On Saturday night we went to The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano to see The Blasters perform, along with Graceland Mafia, Three Bad Jacks, and Hacienda Brothers. It was a lot of great music, good food, and fun. I wore this awesome dress I found among some of the clothes Abbie left in her closet here, which was perfect for our night of Rockabilly music. Abbie told me the dress belonged to the Grandmother of one of her high school friends, and I received so many compliments on it!

NASCAR
Sunday was the NASCAR race at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. The plan was to go to the race, then head to Kelly and David's for dinner. Unfortunately it rained all morning and the race was postponed. We finally headed to the speedway in the early afternoon after the rain stopped. We have never been to a NASCAR race before...WOW - what an awesome experience...we became fans. Unfortunately, after several hours of racing and a lot of yellow flags because of accidents caused by the wet track, the rain came back and the race was postponed. By then it was too late to go see Kelly and David and the boys, which was disappointing. The next morning the four of us drove back out to the track to see the finish of the race!
