Weekend Update

I got a pleasant surprise last Friday as I got to go to Don "Big Daddy" Garlits' drag racing museum. I got to spend a couple hours taking in all the history and taking entirely too many pictures. The best part of the day was that Don himself took my group for a tour of his personal workshop and we got to hear some amazing stories of his racing days. There are too many pictures to post here so I made an album here, and even then I probably was only able to get about half of what there was to see. It is a trip that any respectable gear head should make.

While this was going on Betina was in New York City having her interview for Abu Dhabi. The interview went great, but we had to sweat out the weekend waiting to hear something back. Betina and I were both nervous wrecks and couldn't think of anything else. Well, we finally did hear something earlier today. Betina got an email saying that she was being recommended for the job! Now we just have to wait for the official offer letter, but that should coming in very soon. We are both really excited and anxious to get the process started.

While we nervously waiting, my company had their yearly picnic at one of the local state parks. The family and I showed up fashionably late, perhaps high fashion late, but overall we had a good time and it was a good opportunity to get some fresh air. We did some geocaching while we went for a walk and everyone seemed to have a good time. I took the opportunity to take some pictures of us in the "wild".
