We are in Saginaw now... the Art Fair was awesome and many more adventures await us.

Today started a week of a vacation. I am not flying anywhere, not road tripping to some new city, not spend the weekend relaxing at a resort. My vacation is going to be even better... I am spending it with Novali! Let me recap the last couple days and then talk about our plans for the week.

Saturday I raced again. It was a good outing, the rain stayed away long enough for us to race. I was debating on running in STS (with my upgraded rims) or in HS (with stock wheels) and ended up running in HS. Big mistake. The course was very rough and my Kumhos would of done much better then those stock cheapo tires. Anyhow... I still fared well. I took third in my group, not bad since the fastest car of the day was from my group. I beat a BMW 325, a SER SpecV, a Porsche 942, a RX-7, an Integra and was 5/100 of a second behind a Mitsubishi EVO. Not too shabby... the rest of the weekend included trips to the mall (I love Burboun Chicken from Japoni grill!), ice cream cones, and sleep.

Yesterday was my only work day this week, and then I headed to Chicago. Before going to see Novali I met up with Miguel who was out there in Wickerpark. We chilled at InnJoy and I had some great 25 cent wings and PBR. We chatted and made plans for Novali and I to visit Kzoo on Thursday.

This morning Novali and I drove to Albion. Despite her ten stops to pee, we made good time and even stopped at a McDonald Playland for a little break. We just got into Albion and I wanted to post quickly before I send my laptop to Apple (her poor latch broke and needs fixin').

We have a ton of fun planned this week. Tonight is movie night with friends here, tomorrow there is a grill out at work and then we will head to a pool for some swimming. Thursday we will roll to Kzoo to visit Miguel and see the children's museum. Friday off to Ann Arbor for the big art fair there, and then off to Saginaw. Time in Saginaw will involve lots of swimming, a trip or two to the lake, maybe some Chucky Cheese, and for sure some bike riding and maybe a backyard camp out! Andres comes into town next weekend so we have to plan some fun things for that weekend as well.

Well... signing off for a few days, pictures and fun stories coming soon. Stay tuned.
