Snow, Six Inches to be exact

As most of you already know, it snowed Tuesday. We got about six inches.

Here are some pictures:

While sledding by a pond by our house, we kept getting closer and closer to the pond until...

BAM! I fell in the pond. Well not really the pond, just a pool that branched off from it.

In all of this we managed to watch the inauguration, and I managed to create a website: http://www.reattaresources.com/. Its still a work in progress so don't get your hopes up.

Thanks for reading!

Denny's, and why NOT to go there on Saturday night

This past weekend I want to a car show in Charlotte with my Grandpa.
The account is as follows:

We left Friday morning and had a pretty no-eventful trip down.
When we got there, we went to the fairgrounds (at Metrolina Speedway) and plundered around a bit. We bought a trailer hitch ball and some automobilia (old car literature), ate chicken tenders, etc.
Since we ate the chicken tenders at about 3:00 PM, we weren’t very hungry for dinner. So we ended up eating pizza at 8:45 PM.

The next day we got up and ate breakfast with the guard cat (a gold tabby cat that hangs around the hotel), checked out, and went on to the fairgrounds.
We went to the car corral; saw a Studebaker Lark Daytona wagon, Jaguar XJ8 with a Corvette engine, and a Plymouth Superbird Road Runner kit car.
We walked around a bit more, skipped lunch and started to head home.

Right around Pfafftown NC, we stopped to see a guy with some Buick Reatta parts cars. He showed us his cars that he had at his shop (Including Five Reattas).
Most of his collection consisted of 30’s and 40’s cars.
After we spent about two hours there, we headed off to find dinner…

Dinner, as it happened, was at a Denny’s about 15 minutes away.
This particular Denny’s was very full of screaming children. It happened to be kids eat free night, and someone had brought a birthday party.
We ate dinner, then hit the road again. We got home about 8:30ish with a lot of strange memories.
