Months ago I was planning a trip to go up north to Atlanta (Michigan, not Georgia) and go to Sno*Drift 2006 to watch the first US ProRally of the year. The Winter started sucking and wasn't really worthy of calling it Winter and I dismissed going to the event. Just recently, the weather started getting better for an event such as this but there's no way we were going to get any type of lodging between now and then at a resonable price or time.
After that was dropped from discussion, a few weeks ago Nyracat felt like going to Frankenmuth to see a bunch of professional snow and ice carvers do their thing at a national competition. Same dates as Sno*Drift. (January 28-29.) This would work out much better since Fresh is going to be with us and it would be a nice family thing to go and do. Nyracat doesn't really like going to races and smelling exhaust so this is probably the next best thing. (She does like going to the drift meets and seeing n00bs plow into the wall with their daily drivers.)
Next thing I know, my family is calling! Since my Mom's birthday ran across may parent's recent run to Vegas, they want to celebrate her birthday on, you guessed it... the 28th and 29th. So I guess we are going to go down and celebrate a birthday too. That will be on the 29th.
So let's recap:
Cool cars and sliding in a forest sideways. Nixed.
Sliding on ice watching people cut ice and snow. Check.
3 of us going to celebrate my mom's birthday. Check.
Still looks like fun! Now we gotta come up with a vat of food to bring down for the party.
