WOB and Drew

WOB World of Beer.

This is a favorite spot of Drew's. WOB has over 1500 varieties of microbrews from all over the world. Drew has an app on his phone which tracks the beers he has tasted/drank and it also helps him select the ones yet to select. He is a plaqueholder.

After sampling so many beers (sorry forgot to get the number), you earn a plaque for the wall. Drew currently has 284 beers recorded. Some great, some not so good.

He was recently in Seattle on a business trip and visited the World of Beer there. He sampled only beers from the Washington and Oregon region. He would tell you they were great.

As for myself, beer---not so much. I enjoyed a great glass (or two) of Pinot Grigio. Thanks. Drew!

We had some good laughs and it was a good stop indeed. Thanks for sharing your WOB with us Drew!

Daytona 500

My brother Mike received comp tickets to the GM Hospitality Suite for the Daytona 500. How sweet is that!

My husband, niece, nephew and brother were the lucky ones to spend the day at the race!

They had to be at that track at 6 a.m. for their lineup of events.

Agenda

Richard, Sarahbelle, Mike and Drew ready to go!

4:30 a.m.

First up was the pace car ride around the track. Sarah and Drew in a Camaro and Richard and Mike in a Chevy truck.

Pace car Ride 140 mph around track

Photo op on the track before the race.

Track Fun!

Here's the four of them getting ready to drive around the track. YES, they drove a Chevy truck around the track with a driver standing in the back. Sarah was the lucky one that they elected to drive.

The drivers randomly hopped in the back after they were introduced to the crowd.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr.. #17

Here they are making their way around the track.

Drivers hanging out as Sarah nervously awaits her turn to put the pedal to the metal.

After the ride around the track, they exited their truck and were transported to their seats. Thirty eight laps and RAIN. Tornado warnings! They headed back to the car to wait out the rain. It's now 8:30 p.m. And the race is starting up again...maybe!

What a great experience they had. I'm sure there will be more pictures but this was the first round I was able to snatch.

Antique Fair Mt. Dora

On the third weekend of every month, dealers flock to Renninger's Antique Center for the monthly Antique Fairs. Once your done browsing the outdoor and pavilion booths, take a walk down the Street of Shops and visit the indoor Antique Center. It was a perfect day. Sun was shining...cool in the morning and just a bit after noon, we shed our sweatshirts. It was gorgeous.

Booth after booth. We strolled around and had a great time.

Vintage Eyewear.

Holy Water Fonts

This crystal globe would be perfect for the camper.

We stopped at a local bar and hung out for a while. Nice meeting the locals. Had a great evening sitting outdoors. Erik came home from school for the weekend to visit us! Great to see him.
