Jennifer and I met and bonded at the salad bar over a discussion about ranch dressing of all things! She was just so happy and obviously having a great time! We introduced ourselves and chatted for a few minutes and I learned that she is a big race fan and that this was the first race she had ever been to in person.
I should tell you that we had tickets to the best seats in the house, inside the all-inclusive Torque Club. More on that in a later post, but just know that this is one "suite" experience (pun intended!) For two full days we enjoyed all-day buffets with fantastic food, a nice bar, a very upscale and comfortable indoor lounge area, and seats just outside the suite to watch the race.
Jennifer is a super sweet young mom to two children who are, in her words, "very two and very three"! Jennifer's husband Eric gave her this weekend experience for her birthday which was in May, so she waited and anticipated this for a very long time! When I asked if this was a monumental birthday, like 30, Eric replied, "No, it's just a great wife birthday!" Now how awesome is that?!?!
We would pass by each other periodically throughout the day and she was always on to the next thing on her "be-sure-to-do" list! She wasn't sure if she wanted to stay to see Kurt Busch or if she wanted to head to the pits for that experience. Decisions, decisions, decisions!!
One of our last little chats was about the different tracks I have been to and which one she wants to put on her Wish List for her next birthday. And judging from the fun they appeared to be having, I'll bet Eric will oblige! After all, Nascar Wife, Happy Life!!!
