For Fernando’s 30th, I gave him a Groupon to go to the Texas Speedway. He’s always talking about how cool it would be to race on a real course, and Groupon had a sweet deal so I jumped at it. The deal: drive 3 laps in a 2011 Ford Mustang on the 3 mile race course at the Texas Speedway. Then ride 5 laps shotgun as the professional shows you how its done. All for 50% off!
We headed on our first road trip with the babies 90 miles away to College Station, TX
Fernando thought it was tons of fun. Although we were a little disappointed that the car had a stock engine. For some reason I thought it was going to be a Shelby. Oh well. Its not often that you get to push a car to see just how fast it can go. He maxed out at 110 and had a fun time drifting on all the curves and turns the course offered. I didn’t even get to see him drive since I was stuck with the babes.
I was a little jealous.
The babies did beautifully on their first road trip. Slept all the way. While we were there we managed to meet up with some of Fernando’s college friends, and check out the bonfire memorial at A&M. Oh yeah, we fed, burped, and changed babies diapers four times x 2. And before we knew it the day was over.
Awesome! I just saw a similar groupon & was telling Lane about it, but there wasn’t an option for him to drive himself.
