Everyone who knows anything about Charlotte, North Carolina, knows that this is Nascar country. Nascar was invented here and has a huge presence in Charlotte and the surrounding suburbs. I, personally, am not a fan of Nascar. However, that didn't stop of from enjoying a day at the Nascar Speedpark amusement center (http://www.nascarspeedpark.com/). We loaded up the car and headed over around noon. They have about 6 race tracks there to ride go-karts, bumper boats, mini-golf, a huge arcade, cafe, and a few amusement rides for the smaller children. Once again, the tokens went in about 15 minuites, but I bought the wristbands for the kids to ride the rides and drive the go-karts. All in all, we stayed there over 7 hours! I was exhausted by the time I made it home! They all had a great time. I can't wait to hit the bed!

****I forgot to mention that James had to wear his dirt bike outift, complete with the Fox racing pants. Once he found out that we were going to ride go-karts, it was on!
