Speedway in Lights

May parents came for Chirstmas this Year. It was nice not to have to travel since Cohen was so delightful on the last flight(That was sarcasm by the way).

In the weeks leading up to Christmas the weather was very Utah like .  My parents felt at home. It was kinda a bummer because  a lot of the things I wanted to do we couldnt because of the weather. We did get to see Speedway and Lights. Which was pretty amazing. And also more enjoyable as we got to see the lights from the warmth of the car.

The famous "World's Fastest Half Mile" In Bristol, Tennessee is about 20 min from our house. When Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhart Jr. aren't racing in one of the largest arenas in the world, it is decked out with millions of twinkling lights. And is definitely a holiday tradition for many East Tennessee families. I am glad we got to see it! In the middle of the arena they have rides, food and a little train for kids. It was freezing though we didn't last long in the outdoor activities.



It was hard getting any decent pictures through the window of the car. Pictures don't really do it justice.
