Yellowstone 2008

June in Yellowstone was cold but a great way to see lots of animals. It was snowing part of the time. Welcome to summer. We saw 3 black bears. That is almost unheard this time of year. Tons of elk and bison were out grazing. It is a wonder to see.

The Indy 500

We went to the Indy 500 over Memorial Day weekend. It was a blast. Saturday is the annual race parade in downtown Indianapolis. The place was packed with race fans. The floats, cars, clowns, celebraties and more added to the excitement leading up to the race.
Sunday, Race day. Started with a 1 1/2 mile walk to the track. Over 200,000 fans trying to converge on the track was quite and experience. Our seats were on turn 4 so we could see all of turn 3 and down most of the straight way that the start/finish line was on. What a thrill when we heard, "Ladies and Gentlemen start your engines!" and we all cheered. The roar of the engine was defening but a chill went up my spine. It was so exiting and I would not really call myself a race fan. I am now. Scott Dixon won after 500 miles in less that 4 hours!
Monday, we went back to the track to walk around. We visited Gasolline Alley, the Brickyard, the Pagoda, the pits and the museum. This photo was taken on the winners podium. We would like to thank our race enthusiast, Scott and Cinnamon for a great time. They enriched our experience and their children were so cute and loving. It was a trip of a lifetime.
