The Race!

Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year as it is the unofficial start to summer and race weekend here in Indy.  We had another great Indy 500 weekend this year.  My friend Mike made his second voyage all of the way from Rochester, NY to attend the race.  My parents were nice enough to let us use their van as the transport medium.  This was the first Indy 500 for Sarah.  She enjoyed going and was nice enough to drive us too and from the track.  The weather was nice, though a bit warm.  None of us got arrested or injured too badly.  BoilerPip's dad and sister came with us this year, and it was the first time his sister had been to the race and she enjoyed it.  I think everyone enjoyed hanging out at Broad Ripple and Downtown.  It was a very good race with Dario Franchitti winning for the third time of his career.  All and all it was a successful weekend and it's tough to believe it is over as now we all have to get back to our ordinary daily routines.

I'm looking forward to next year as we will be ordering tickets through the track ourselves this time instead of relying on scalpers or Wyatt's uncle.  Should be a great time.  Hope everyone else enjoyed their holiday weekend!
