Today was the POW/MIA motorcycle rally. It ended up that Hubby and I were the only ones going. Well, our friend Ross and his brother Monty were joining us as well, but Monty was coming in from Kansas and Ross had to wait for him to arrive to join the group. So we left without them.
Hubby and I started the morning off after we left Ross's house, by going to Pikes Peak Harley Davidson (the local Harley Dealer). From there we paid our $10 entry fee and joined the next group of riders going up to Woodland Park. There were about 25 of us in that group. The destination from there is Woodland Park High School That is the staging ground for where the major parade begins. There was probably around 2000 bikes in the high school parking lot. At 10:30am the parade began from Woodland Park to Cripple Creek. What a site. You are talking 2000'ish bikes all riding together. It's quite a site. We arrive in Cripple Creek to a crowd that is so big that there is only 1 lane of traffic on the main street and that is where all the bikes are coming in. We, thankfully were near the front. So we were able to park the bike and then walk a block over to main street to watch the rest of the parade come into town.
After the parade finished, we got some lunch and did some walking around. We then caught up with Ross and his brother. After that, a bit more shopping and then we decided to head back home. It started to rain on us about the time we hit Divide, CO, and rained most of the way home on us.
After that, we cleaned up and then headed to my mom's house for dinner. We had to celebrate Zak's birthday. We (Hubby and myself, Mom and Dad) gave him a new lens for his camera. Here is a pic of him with his new lens on his camera:
The next day, Sunday, we had tickets to the local track (PPIR) for the IRL race (Indy Racing League). I am sure you have heard of Danika Patrick? Well, she was there. She came in 8th. It was a hot day. The temp at race time was 87 degrees, and track temp at the beginning of the race was 127 degrees. Anyway, it was a pretty fast race, and fairly interesting, however they don't believe that “Rubbin's Racing” in Indy league, so to me, it could have been a little bit more interesting. After the race we stopped by my parent's house again. We had one last dinner with Zak. He leaves tomorrow for Pennsylvania. We will see him again in December, but not until then. That will be odd. After a quick Pizza dinner, we packed up the dogs and headed for home. By now Bristol and Phoebe were covered in mud and dirt and who knows what else, as they had played all day while Hubby and I were at the race. So, that night when we got home Bristol got a bath.
The rest of the week has just been work for me. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow for my eye surgery. Finally. Yesterday my mother had her pins removed from her foot. She says it hurts. But, at least we are to the point of her having the pins out now. She can only get better from here!
Okay, we are off to talk the munchkins for a walk and then get some dinner. Till later!
