A Dream Come True...

So the final day of our trip one of Taylor's dreams came true!  When we were planning out our trip for Taylor's graduation we were looking into going back east so Taylor could do a driving tour in some Ferrari's and Lamborghini's.  When we decided we were going to Disneyland we realized Taylor wouldn't be able to do that, or so we thought.  After a little research we found out Exotics Racing was going to be in California the same weekend that we were there!  Usually they are in Las Vegas so it was way lucky that it worked out the way it did!  Taylor booked his laps and picked the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

The whole drive there (it was in Fontana) Taylor had a grin on his face!  It was so cute to see him soo excited!  We got to see a lot of cool cars while we were waiting for Taylor's turn.

 Also while you wait they take you on a ride in one of their Porsche's so you can get to know the track.  I got to join for that.  I NEVER want to go that fast in an SUV again. Haha!

Finally it was Taylor's turn.

When he got out of the car he just kept saying "That was awesome, so sweet!".  I think he enjoyed it a little.  This track has a lot of some technical word for turns and things so there was only 3 straight-aways for him to get high speeds and he "only got to around 150mph.  Ha!  Only?  Watching him go by was a little scary!  They go so fast!  I am so glad Taylor got to do this.  It's a dream come true for him and a well deserved graduation gift!  I highly recommend doing this for anybody that loves cars. It's totally worth it!!

After he finished his laps we waited for the DVD of the experience to be made.  Back when we were riding in the Porsche there was another guy from Australia in the car with us.  Taylor is extremely nice and chatty all of the time so of course it was no different with this guy.  We talked with him before driving then when we were waiting for the DVD he came and started talking to us again.  He was on a 6 week vacation visiting places all over the US.  He was staying in LA and took a taxi to get to Fontana.  He didn't have the taxi wait for him and he was a little unsure of how he was going to get back.  Sure enough he asks us.  If you remember a couple posts ago I was horribly sick and so tired!  All I wanted to do was nap on the way back to Long Beach so I could enjoy our time at the pier.  Well my dear sweet husband says "Sure!  Not a problem!".  Then he turns to me and asks if it's ok with me.  Since it was a little too late to say no now we let an Australian make the drive back with us that we had only talked to for maybe a half an hour total.  I made sure Taylor asked lots of questions and I listened to every response to make sure his story matched up!  He seemed extremely nice but I've watched Lifetime.  I'm not dumb.  They (the murderers) all seem nice at first.  Well needless to say we made it back safe but man... Taylor still owes me.  He's not allowed to talk to strangers anymore!  We spend the rest of our day at the pier and had a delicious lunch with an amazing view of the lighthouse!
