Daytona 500

Jake's mom and her fiance came into

town in February for a visit.  A highlight of their

stay (and the only time we took pictures while they

were here) was going to Daytona Beach to watch

one of the qualifying races for the Daytona 500.

Before the race, we relaxed on the beach.

Then it was off to the races.

This was our first NASCAR experience, and

we were a little surprised at the huge turnout

and excitement of the fans.  

I can't say that I understood all the 

racing rules, but it was an interesting 

experience, especially watching the cars crash

(thankfully, no one was injured).

Congratulations to the M&M car for winning, 

and thanks Claudia and Karry for the experience!
