~:[Day 342]:~ Let's Celebrate

Day 2 in New Mexico was full of activities from running the course to eating at a lot of fancy looking places, we sure were able to do a lot in a single day. The course itself was fairly flat and viewer friendly, however, there is a cool segment in the southwest corner that has these rolling hills similar to the NXN course over grass and sand. It's not quite as consistent as the NXN course, which could make it a little more challenging. Afterwards, we headed to Target, where we spent way too much time and then off to register for the race, where we got our JO swag. We grabbed a bite to eat at a fancy little Italian place that was empty, because according to the Internet, it was closed. I think they were nice enough to let us in for lunch even though they were closed. We did a photoshoot in the back where we played in the leaves and on the bridge for a bit before heading back. For the nightcap, we did some indoor go karting - they had some major speed! We then played in the arcade a bit - pool, air hockey, and I won the major prize on stacker AGAIN! This time I won a USB video camera. Yahooo! We finished the night off with another fancy dinner at Cafe Jean Pierre (French) where I had frog legs and scallops. Before letting them play their Monopoly Deal, we livestreamed our pre-race interviews. Of coruse, only a bit of the five minute interview saved online, but I have another copy of it! They are such a great group and am glad they are getting along so well! Tonight is an early night, as tomorrow is race day.
