There isn't many better things in life than a good weekend away from home with some good friends. So often it's easy to get stuck in the rut of daily responsibilities that it's easy to forget what's important in life. Sitting under a little pop-up tent, with a little charcoal grill cooking, I was in heaven. A great weekend away in the midst of the busiest part of the semester.
Me and five of my friends made the trek down to the Dallas - Ft. Worth area to attend one of my favorite events on the planet, the spring NASCAR race at the Texas Motor Speedway. It was an awesome three days full of tailgating, fun, and racing. There's not much more I could ask for life. Aside from a little rain to put a slight delay to things everything went as expected. It's hard to worry about all the troubles facing you when you have nothing to worry about but who's gonna win the race.
After the weekend away I have to return to the real world. The trip I looked forward to for months is come and passed. Though I'll be able to come back with a little more of a smile on my face. Vacations are few and far between and it's important to take advantage of all them. Whether at a beach in a tropical paradise or a redneck oasis in the middle of Texas, it's the company you're with that makes the trip. This semester winding down and my weekend away makes it that much easier to finish strong.
