Lately we've been quite busy.
Driving around from town to town on fun little day trips,
In between my work shifts of course!
First we found ourselves in Seattle for a quick little trip to Jason's friends office,
For a little business.
We found ourselves at the
Metropolitan Grill.
Probably one of the most expensive places I've ever been..
Including the HUGE steaks..
& Of course the boys got the 38oz. porterhouse.
Before that,
they ate, four rolls, calamari, and a huge plate of ceasar salad.
I mean, they thought that was filling enough,
then the steaks arrived.. and they ate it all!!
After dinner, we made it home around 1am or 2am.
And a couple days later we go to Portland,
to pick up some parts for new incoming race car.
And we stopped at something that the internet said would be
"the best pizza in portland"
We all decided it was the worst pizza we've ever had..
Horrible..
After that, still being hungry, we walked over to..
Voodoo Doughnuts!!
I've never been but they were weird, but delicious!
I got a chocolate doughnut that had peanut butter, and oreos on it!
Yumm, and the boys got a HUGE glazed doughnut, a bubblegum one.
And we had leftovers (:
And the day after that, we were headed outside of Yakima
to look at camping sites for next weekend.
Come to find out they were all closed, logs covered the grounds.
Destined to find a spot, we headed up the hill.
Stopping at every little turn off in the Wenatchee National Forest.
The higher we got the more snow there was...
To which we decided to go to one off of the side of the road.
Not looking like much snow, we headed off road...
to which we quickly slammed down to the ground..
Stuck in snow..
Remember thinking this was a short trip,
we were all in shorts, sandals, I was in a dress.
After an hour sitting there wondering how I was going to explain to my boss
the next day why I didnt show up for work.
And of course Jason being the problem solver he is, got us out.
We found out that it wasn't a small amount of snow,
it was close to four feet deep!
But after we high tailed it out of there, made it to Minors for some dinner and headed home!
Safely in our beds(:
The next day after work we headed to Yakima again,
with a couple of Jason's friends, to the Renagade Raceway Drapstrip.
After watching only one car, Jason got that bug in his pants, and wanted to race!
We watched this Jetcar!
Man that thing is cool!
It's super loud, but it goes super fast!
After 11pm we headed home, while Jason stayed up all night
working on his car, getting it ready to bring to the track the next day!
Worked all night, and all day.
And we finally loaded her up and headed to the track!
Let me tell you, I was already scared about Jason driving over 100 mph in such a short amount of time, knowing something could happen....
And literally the race right before him,
a gentleman gets out of the groove and smashes straight into the concrete wall..
As if I wasn't scared enough as it is...
But his first run, went great.
I thought, I mean, he made it safely and did a good time.
That's all I wanted, him safe!
He did an amazing job, people were impressed with the car.
I mean its a Honda CRX.
Those cars aren't meant to do that length of road in 12 secs!
After three great runs he called it quits,
we watched a few more runs,
and we packed up and headed home!
Overall it was a great time had by all(:
Every trip is always fun, and an adventure!
Look forward to this coming weekend,
possibly going camping!!
