Jeff's Indy 500 Trip

This year the trip to the Indy 500 was my Mom Kathy and Me. Thanks Mom for induring the long hot day at the track. We started the day by leaving St. Louis at 4am for the long drive to
Indianapolis which is about 4 hours away. After getting to our seats we walked around and Kathy took this picture of the Indy 500 sign. Once the race began the heat was on. They said that this years race was the hottest temperature ever for a race at 96 degrees with a track temp of 135 degrees. Mom hung in there with only one trip below for some shade and a frosty. Overall it was a great day at the track.

Jeff and Pop

On Monday I made my annual trip over to Washington MO to see Grandma Liz and Pop. We had a good visit talking about baseball, geneology and the family. It is always good to see both of them and have Grandam Liz catch me up on everyone in person.

Me and Grandma Liz!

Grandma Betty

Also while in Washington I saw Grandma Betty and my uncle Carey and my aunt Diane. We had a Memorial Day BBQ at Carey's and I got some of those great Midwest pork steaks. They are hard to find outside the state of Missouri. It was good to see them and it was also good to see the Curran family history book that Diane put together.

Jeff, Carey, and Diane

Nephew and Uncle

Finally got a picture of Ben while I was at home. He is busy with his summer activities so it is hard to get him in one place. The joys of being 19.

I also needed to apologize to Mom and B because I did not do what my wife told me too and get a picture of us together. I totally forgot. It was good to hang out at the house, have dinners and watch sports on TV. I really enjoyed my Indy 500 trip and the only thing that would of made it the best would have been if Tina was with me.
