Indiana 2018 Day Two - "He Had Always Pictured Himself In The Pits Of The Indianapolis Speedway In The 500."

Day 2 was a bucket list item for Wes as we visited the Indianapolis Speedway. His eyes were like saucers all day. We saw some racing, including qualifiers for the Grand Prix as well as Indy Lites racing. We also really enjoyed the museum. The whole place really different than I had pictured. The speedway is enormous! It's 2 1/2 miles around the track. So you can only see part of the track from your seat. And the stands will hold something like 350,000 people! Inside the track they have the museum, a golf course, places for the drivers to park their giant motor coaches, food stands, and I don't know what all else. We couldn't believe how huge it was. We had so much fun walking around and exploring the place. After the Speedway, we drove to the mission home to meet President and Sister Carlson, Clint's Mission President and wife. We had a delightful visit with Clint, they were excited to hear about what he's been up to, and they updated us on news from the mission. We also drove over to the temple, which is beautiful! We didn't have time for a session, we just walked around outside. That evening, we had dinner with the Creightons, one of Clint's favorite families. They fixed us yummy Mexican food and we visited and had a great time with them all evening.
