A Great Weekend

My hubby is only home every other weekend. I know…big bummer. For most of the time I am almost a single parent…cause he just isn’t here. :(
But when he does come home we squeeze in as much fun as we can. He came home Friday afternoon and we went to the county drag strip to watch my Dad race his new car in the trials. It was alot of fun…except for the part were we started getting eaten alive by mosquitos. Then it started raining and we had to hurry and load the car onto the trailer and it was not an easy task to get a car with slicks up on a wet trailer. 
We are in trouble because our oldest son wants to race…bad. He can start racing in the junior division at 8 years old. They go up to 80 mph! I told him ten years old sounded more reasonable to me…especially since a jr. car would cost around 5 grand to start. But I can’t blame him for wanting to race. It is in our blood and I would likely race if I could do it in a biodiesel.
Saturday we drove into Columbus to shop at our favorite Japanese market and to get some sushi. We chowed down on tuna, salmon, sweet shrimp, eel, sea urchin, and a variety of other delicous fish…most raw. We just dip them in some soy sauce with fresh wasabi and …YUM! Our oldest son loves to go there so he can get octopus which he then eats straight out of the package. We love to eat local foods but we also LOVE to get sushi every now and again. The fact that we don’t do it very often makes it very special.
Saturday evening we went to the popcorn festival. It is a three day festival that is setup in the heart of the downtown area. It was hard to find parking which is pretty funny because the old Victorian house we lived in for a short time and then sold is only a block away from the festival. If we still lived there we could have walked!
The older kids got to ride on some rollar coasters and other rides and Parker got to try some hot apple dumplings. We left early when it started to rain.
Sunday we had a pretty lazy day. We did some shopping, walked Polaris mall, and Jarod caught up on some Honey-Do items…like fixing Payton’s bike.
A good weekend…
