This past week was amazing. I was very excited about the Women in Aviation international conference which was to be held at Coronado Springs in Walt Disney World. It did not disappoint. But we need to start at the beginning of the week. I was excited to receive an invitation to be a co-host at the ESPN sports club there at Disney. It was so exciting, and a lot of fun. I hope to be invited back to do it all over again.
The next day, the show began. Our booth received a lot of attention, and I was honored to meet many great women doing some amazing things. We were scheduled to be at the booth from Thursday through Saturday. On Friday evening after the show, Embry-Riddle honored the Alumni with a party.
Saturday morning I was up at 3:00 a.m. in order to fulfill another obligation. The Miss Ta Fire jet dragster was schedule to be at career expo to help out one of Embry-Riddle's World Wide Campus's in Ft. Lauderdale. Chris was in Orlando with the one dragster, while the rest of the crew went with me to the other show.
On the way home from the expo, Everett (crew chief) and I pulled into a rest area to get something to eat, as we were pulling out, a very nice man asked me to stop. I rolled down the window, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was a father of two women who had graduated from Embry-Riddle. I signed a couple of photos for him and we were on our way.
Sunday I watched the Daytona 500 with the rest of the world. It was an exciting finish, we were rooting for Mark Martin, but I guess you can say "That's Racing!"
On a family note, Andrew is starting baseball. This is his favorite sport, beside racing. I have volunteered to be the team mom. Nitro is growing bigger everyday. Andrew is having so much fun with his new puppy, even the chores that come with a new dog.
Now it is time to gear up for the start of the racing season. I am scheduled to be in Belle Rose, LA for a division 4 race and then back in Florida at Moroso Motorsports Park we will finish up March at an Air Show in Columbus, GA. We would love to see you at one of the shows. Check out the schedule for updates as new dates come available.
See ya at the races.
