Dad took Richard and Jesse to a driving academy for their birthday! It was insane! Got do drive lots of fast cars, including the SLS AMG Mercedes. We drove on the Laguna Seca Racetrack and the weather was awesome.


This is the infamous corkscrew turns on the track. Ready and waiting for our first instruction.

Drag race in progress. We did pretty well. Smoked everyone in our group (we are the grey blur)


Nice car! They make even the worst drivers look good. Here is our group, the yellow team.


"I'm too sexy for my helmet" I rode as a passenger with Jesse, and was taking pictures etc during the run, and ended up not feeling too hot. Then they asked if we wanted to take two cars and follow one of the professional drivers around the track. Just the three of us. Of course we couldnt turn that down. So after about 20 laps Richard had to pull in the pits and give his lunch back. Jesse told the driver congrats because we are both pilots so to make us sick is a good job on his part. It was worth it!

While we were at the track Zack went with Grandma to visit Jesses new baby. While he was there they had lots of fun and Zack had his own driving school!
Thank you again to Grandpa and Grandma for allowing us to go do this!
