Bristol...what a time!

Last week / weekend we made the trip up to Bristol with lil' man to spend some time with family and for Chuck to do his thing at the Bristol race (which I also got to attend!).

Knox was GREAT on the way up there. He woke up at 5:30am so I fed him and since our car was packed from the night before - we hoped in the car and off we went! We stopped once to feed him and made it there by his next feeding. Perfect timing! This trip was so great because Knox was able to meet his great grandparents, Granny & Papa! They got lots of good loving from Knox and enjoyed cuddling and holding him. It is so special to see great grandparents with your child.
Meg also drove in and surprised Chuck's parents so we could take them out to eat for their 35th wedding anniversary. We picked up GranDoc from work and Meg was hiding in the back of the car until we got to dinner...then she popped out! So fun. It is not often the five of us get to all be together - I wish I had gotten a picture from dinner. I have been slaking on the picture front lately! The next morning before Meg had to leave - she also got some snuggling time :)
Aunt Donna LOVED seeing Knox too!! Although it seems everytime she came around Knox would magically fall asleep!
Chuck went to the race for work and this was the first race I have been to since last October. The night race in Bristol is one of the hottest tickets in the sport because it is known forgood ole' racing. This race was different than anyone I have ever been to as Chuck was no longer on the "sales" side of the sport, but the sponsor / team side of things. We were able to spend some time at the AFLAC hauler and then join Carl and his wife and team by the car for pre-race festivities. I enjoyed being back at the races and seeing lots of people I used to work with. A HUGE THANKS to Grandma and GranDoc for watching lil' man so I could enjoy a night out.
