Heather surprised me for my 30th Birthday this year... and did she ever surprise me! Most of you know that I love NASCAR, and those of you that didn't know now. So Heather decided to "kidnap" me after my Friday morning classes and we drove to good ol' Las Vegas, NV. I had never been to the Vegas track but had always wanted to go since it's only a few hours from us. So my fun-filled weekend was filled with NASCAR, great food and entertainment, and I got to enjoy it all with the love of my life! She is amazing! Despite the unpredictable high winds and cold rainy weather, we had a blast and it definitely was the most memorable Birthday celebration I've ever had.
Heather not only got us weekend tickets to the Busch and Nextel Cup races, but we had Pit Passes that allowed us to walk up and down pit road at selected times throughout the week. It was amazing. Robbie Gordon waved at us as he was filling his Busch car with gas. We were able to stay in the pit area while they ran happy hour and the pic you see below is how close I got to my favorite driver, Bobby Labonte. In this pic he is actually waiting for the official to wave him onto the track for their last practice run before the race. The background car is Kasey Kane. We had an amazing time!
Ah... one of my favorite things about Vegas is the amazing restaraunts! These pics were taken in a Cafe in one of the newer resorts known as the Wynn. Over the weekend it became our new favorite themed resort and the breakfast that we had was incredible. Heather and I also went to one of the Cirque du Soliel shows know as "KA". It was fabulous. The stage was the most amazing set up I have ever seen. It was such a wonderful weekend that it took the pains of moving into the 30's much easier :)
