Our get-a-way to the Daytona 500





Last weekend we had some more special visitors. Grandpa & Grandma Fosdick came from CA to visit and watch Parker over the weekend so Patrick and I could get-a-way down to FL for a trip to the Daytona 500. Their visit started out with a fun dinner with my parents, brother and Patrick's parents all enjoying some good laughter and great food!
We left on Friday for FL and left Parker in the very capable hands of Grandpa & Grandma. While we were gone Mother Nature surprised SC with a beautiful snow storm. Luckily Grandma snapped some pictures of Parker's first snow- she said she even snuck him a taste of snow and he loved it! Parker was spoiled (of course) and we felt just as spoiled to finally get to leave town together for the first time since Parker was born!

As you can see the Daytona 500 was quite an experience. It was the first Nascar event for either of us so we had no idea what to expect! We got to go behind the scenes for a garage tour and pit tour before the big race. It was cool to see everything up close and personal- check out the pictures of us signing the start/finish line! We even had special "track scanners" that alllow you to listen in to your favorite driver and their spotter throughout the race.

We can not thank Grandma and Grandpa Fosdick for coming all that way to watch Parker so we could sneak away. It was great to see them and I know Parker LOVED all the attention! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
