"Start your engines"

July 22-24, 2013
Wildlife Woods Campground, Sherrills Ford, NC.  Sites 163, 162, and 161 are good sites.  This campground is located on Lake Norman and we had a view of the lake.  This was Kevin's first trip in the camper. He was a very good camper and proved to be flexible in using the bath house and dealing with the bugs.

 We have friends in Mooresville who have been lifelong NASCAR race fans but have never been to the NASCAR Race Museum and Hall of Fame in Charlotte.  On Tuesday, we took Phillip and Ann to the museum in Charlotte.  The trip was special because Phillip had been to many of the races and/or knew personal knowledge and stories of most of the drivers and cars on display.  We called Phillip our "personal tour guide".  When Phillip's sons were small they had Richard Petty model race cars.  The family had made a special trip to a car dealership where Richard Petty was signing autographs for fans.  The next morning one of the sons came into the kitchen saying "Richard Petty marked on my car" as he was rubbing the autograph off!
 
 
Phillip and Kevin participated in many of the hands-on activities including driving a NASCAR in a mock race!
 
 

  Then we visited with Rachel who is famous for her pound cakes and banana custard puddings.   Later all of us ate at Cracker Barrel.  After dinner they visited us at the campground to see the camper.
