Well, I found out about a driving school that Audi offers and the best part? It's free. I was one of the lucky few to actually get a spot in the school before they all filled up. Next task? Convince Katie to let me fly out to LA to realize my dream!
We set out for LA last Thursday, picked up our rental car, and headed out to Ontario. Thanks to Jason we stayed at the Marriott Fairfield Inn Ontario and woke up bright and early for the school.
On to the pictures!
This is me after taking an A4 around the track a few times. Notice my cool helmet? :)
This is me inside of the Audi R8...the only car in the world to undergo a CT scan to ensure that nothing is out of place by more than 0.1mm!
And Katie and I in front of the entrance to the speedway
Okay, now on to the more exciting stuff....the BEST PART OF THE TRIP! Katie and I drove up I5 for a few hours in our 60mpg Prius (we only spent $25 in gas for the WHOLE trip!) and arrived in San Jose where we met up with John and ate at P.F. Chang's with Uncle John, Uncle Brian, Uncle Mark, and Aunt Annie. We spent the night with John and watched The Office and played RockBand2 with him before heading a little further north to San Francisco to visit Jeni and Jason.We started off with some authetic clam chowder and sourdough bread
Saw the seals on Pier 39
Hopped on an open top tour bus and saw the city!
Our first day was really foggy....I got this funny video of the Golden Gate Bridge. You can tell it was really wet and cold.
Our first day experience was definitly fun AND humorous. :) Day two was CRYSTAL clear! It was so beautiful so we went out again to see the city.
Anybody remember Full House? :)In front of the Golden Gate Bridge
And most importantly, you haven't had a chocolate sundae until you've had one from Ghirardelli Square! AMAZING!

super jealous of your audi racing. like really.
glad you had a good time. looks like a fun trip!
Glad you returned home in one piece. You are lucky that Katie lets you fulfill your car obsession. I agree that the Audi is a sweet machine.
Looks like you had a lot of fun! And I'm jealous that you guys went to P.F. Changs...
It was fun having you guys! Feel free to come visit again.
so much fun! we're glad you're back though..
Come back anytime!! Jason and I are craving another sundae from Ghirardelli... yeah, we're pigs!
Katie Crapo! You are totally in trouble for going to San Francisco and not even calling me. I live only 15 minutes outside the city. Next time you are out here you have to let me know. I can give you the non-touristy tour of the city and show you all the cool local places.
I think it's so great that you and Ryan are living life to the fullest and doing fun things like this now while you are first married.
Love- your favoritist cousin ever, Bethy
