Indianapolis, our first adventure excluding our honeymoon as Mr. and Mrs. Brown-cracker(as Lori calls us, should be Graham-cracker). At the end of August for my birthday w
e will be heading to Indianapolis for the Moto Grand Prix (MotoGP) race! Yay!!! Valentino Rossi (Chad's favorite) has won 8 championships thus far. He is currently contracted to race with Yamaha for 2 more years but we want to make sure we get to go see him before he retires. Off to Indianapolis we go!.
Valentino has been one of Chad's favorite racers for a long time. Every yea
r he keeps up with what he's up to and always tries to see the races on TV. Since he races MotoGP they race all over the world, not like Nascar that just races in the US. MotoGP only comes
to the US twice the whole season, to Laguna Seca in California, and Indianapolis (this will be the third year they have raced in Indy). Valentino Rossi is from a little city in Italy called Urbino (which we plan to visit someday!). Valentino just turned 31 in February, 10 days before Chad turned 26. Guess what else, Valentino has English bulldogs!!! His longtime friend Guido passed away recently but he has two new pups now. The picture to the right is a photo of Valentino and Guido. Maybe we will name our next bulldog Guido? hmm? Anyways, hopefully Valentino will have a win when we go. Last year a hurricane actually hit Indianapolis when they were racing so I hope we will also have better weather. In MotoGP they still race in the rain, so either way we will get our moneys worth.

The race is Sunday August 29th. We are planning on driving on a Friday, sightseeing on Saturday, race day all day Sunday and then driving home on Monday. Chad bought our tickets about 3 weeks ago to make sure we have seats. We were able to get box seats, right before the first turn just as they are decelerating from a straightaway. We will also be covered if it rains, but it's not going to rain!! I am so excited, this will be a first for both of us. My sister is joining us too because we have turned her on to motorcycle racing. Since she will have graduated she will be able to travel with us. Maybe she will drive her new car, but hopefully I will have my new car by then, I guess we will see when we get closer to time. We do officially have tickets so there is no backing out now. I am sure I will post all kinds of pictures afterwards too! Chad's dad bets it will be well over 300. I don't miss a beat!

Chad and I talk about it everyday, almost more than our honeymoon because we are so excited. Just thought I would share some of the excitement with you. : )
