Race Day

We both were excited to watch the pageantry and excitement surrounding the Indianapolis 500 yesterday. That is one place that we would like to visit someday. It turns out that it is only about a 2.5 hour drive from Patty's house in Naperville so we are talking about a possible visit down the road to Patty's which would include tickets to the Indianapolis 500. Hmm. Next year is the 100th running of the race. The race was exciting, as always, and the finish, as always, made the race. There were four drivers with a chance to win and the driver that won - Pablo Montoya - was in last place during the early stages of the race and moved all the way to the front with just a few laps to go. Amazing.

We also did some outside packing around the gazebo and the shed where we had some loose items that needed to be consolidated. We are getting anxious to get things in boxes and ready to move. There were tons of cars parked behind us which means that the lake was full of boats yesterday. The resort is also full and there were parties all over the place. It will be the last big holiday this summer- except for July 4 - which the resort will enjoy with a full house. By tomorrow, it will once again look like a ghost town.

Our final day off this holiday weekend is today and we will then be facing the stretch run to the big day on Thursday. I'm sure we will figure out something that we could do that will get us closer to having the move go a bit easier...
