Birthday Bash

This weekend my great Aunt who lives here in Brentwood turned 90. They had a big party for her. Her sisters from Washington and California flew in as well as a few nephews from the west coast. It was a very fun party and Aunt Garnet had a great time. They had old fashioned hats for everyone to wear and Aunt Garnet wore a black feather boa all evening. Her son from Ireland was there so she had people coming from all over to celebrate with her.

My Aunt and Uncle from Texas are also here. Her sister lives in Kentucky, so yesterday we drove to Bowling Green and visited the Corvette Museum. The factory is closed on Sunday which I think would have been more interesting. They have some really pretty cars in there. Most of them are on loan from private owners. One thing I found interesting was that although they have been around since the 50's they didn't make their 1 millionth car until something like 2002. Well, after being around "America's sports car" for the afternoon the kids were feeling fast and furious so we went over to a nearby go kart track and got our race on. My Uncle and I went with the kids. It was my first go kart experience. It was extremely uncomfortable in those cars but it was fun. I liked trying to skid out going around the corners.

Today mom and I are meeting up with my mom's cousin and her husband and my Aunt and Uncle to go check out the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Theatre as well as the Ernest Tubb Record Shop.

It has been a really fun weekend. My kids got to meet and visit (and actually have fun) with some of our distant relatives.

Have a great day. Gotta get Jordan to school now. Bye.
