Where did you go, March?

Dang! It’s already April. Where did March go? Well, I know Spring came…

…but then it went. We have a freeze warning tonight.

We went to a filming of “Pinks All Out” in Ennis at the Texas Motorplex. Since Garrett has been working with some people from the speed network, we were able to get in one of the VIP suites and see the action from right behind the start line. It was awesome! I think I found my new hobby.

They had a car with a JET ENGINE in it! How cool is that?! You could feel the walls shake when it was getting ready to take off.

They also had some supped-up lawn mowers. They were pretty cool until they actually took off on the track. Then they were kinda slow.

My parents came into town for their Spring Break last week. We had so much fun! We wore them out trying to cram in as much of Texas for them as we could.

We went to the Stockyards…


And we also went to Delaney Vineyard in Grapevine. We did a wine tasting and toured the vineyard. We even learned how champagne is made and the difference between it and sparkling wine.

After the vineyard we found the best Italian restaurant called Ferrari’s. It’s locally owned and the food is great, the service is good, and they have $5 martini happy hour. Garrett and Pat loved the chocolate martinis, but I stuck with a flight of champagne.

Now the parents are gone, and everything is back to normal (except for the cold weather). Next, Garrett’s mom and brother will be coming through town on their way from California to Florida, so we’ve got another visit to look forward to!

P.S. The “bedroom scene” they filmed at our house (from the entry below) was cut from the final video, which will hopefully be ready soon and able to be posted!
