Daytona 500 2011

 Daytona 500....2011

What a blast last weekend was! We camped in the infield of the Daytona Racetrack Thursday-Monday. We were thinking that this would be a one time thing....but we just might have to do it again. We parked the Earth Roamer in amongst all the RVers that must do this for a living.  Some of the rigs these people had cost at the least...a million bucks. Of course, there were people from every socio economic level represented.  We would walk down to the area they called tent city...where it looked like the Clampets had moved in...and you wouldn't believe the contraptions these people would make up to see the race.  They built plywood platforms above their pick-ups and then have 30 people standing on them. Most of the people parked around us just watched the race from up on top of their rv's with tv's and chairs sitting up there.  Mike and I opted to go over and watch the beginning of the race and maybe the first 25 laps or so from The Fan zone up on top of the race car garages.  Then we came back to the Roamer and took a nap and watched it on tv then went back over to the finish line and watch the last 50 laps.
Im not a race girl but I certainly enjoyed all the people watching and activities and camping and music stuff.  We had nice neighbors on both sides of us who really want us to come back next year.  Might have to take them up on it.
Roams was awesome for our first official camp trip. Plenty of room for what we need it for.  Sleeping in it was awesome.  Nice and comfy for all of us. The dogs loved being out among all the people and everyone stopping by to pet them. Fun for all of us!
