Charlotte Rhymes with Vomit







Per Morgan's request, we made sure to include Charlotte's NASCAR Hall of Fame in our itinerary. Coincidentally, it landed on mine and Ed's 11th Anniversary. How romantic.

The museum was still every bit as exciting to the boys as it was 9 months ago. Dean was more able to enjoy it this time, pointing to every car we walked by. Ed and Morgan raced in a simulator but were disqualified this time. Oh well. Afterwards, we had a quick bite to eat at the Buffalo Wild Wings (really, really romantic), then back to the hotel for the night where we were all in bed by 9:00. Unfortunately, Ed woke up feeling ill, so went back to sleep while I walked around with the kids for a couple hours. After a late start and somewhere halfway to Greenville, NC, we heard that gagging noise from the backseat that you never want to hear while you are going 65 mph on a cross country trip. Ugh. Dean threw up. All. Over. We took the closest exit to a gas station where we changed him and cleaned the car seat as best we could, but it was in all the crevices and we still had 2 hours to go. At least Dean was acting ok and I moved to the back seat for the rest of the way, ready with an empty Big Gulp cup in hand.

So I guess Dean and Ed picked some virus up along the way... yuck. Needless to say, we are happy to be in Greenville for a while, spending time with my mom and Tom and recovering from whatever it was.
