Monster Truck Jam!

Boy did we have a great time at the Monster Truck Jam on Saturday night. My white friends are now starting to call us "black rednecks" since we seem to like events that have less than 1% black folks in attendance and most of the white folks are in cowboy boots and camouflage! But we seem to think we are just well rounded folks. But anywhoo, we took Trey to the Georgia Dome this weekend to watch the monster trucks. We had been telling him all week that we were going but I don't think he really understood that we would be seeing them live. Well when we walked in he recognized that it was the football stadium and was shocked as ever when he heard those loud engines roar. He started running to get to the floor to see them and yelling its monster trucks! The only thing terrible about the event was that our ticketed seats were right next to an entrance/exit so every time the door opened which was every 2 minutes there was a burst of cold air coming through. This was especially terrible since it was barely 20 degrees outside! So we kept our gloves and hats on the entire time which kept us comfortable, at least. But I am so glad we left Preston at home with the babysitter because it was too cold for him to be out and it was very loud inside dome. However it wasn't nearly as loud as a Nascar race, which by the way is now one of my favorite events to attend. It is constant excitement watching those cars go round and round at speeds close to 200mph. Now that is probably the loudest sound/event I have ever attended and it is constant because there is no intermission at Nascar. I am more than sure we will be back out at Atlanta Motor Speedway for another race this summer. And Trey will probably join us for a race this time since he is a little older and we know what to expect.

Oh and on another note, our pipes froze this weekend due to the extreme cold temps. We had one bathroom sink working, one shower working (but in separate bathrooms), and the kitchen faucet working. Nonetheless, all of them are back and functioning properly tonight. I just hope some of the black ice on the roads has dissipated by morning because duty calls!
