Saturdays....lately

We are not the type of family that watches football unless it's the Super Bowl.  We have been to an NBA All Star game (4 years ago and I definitely fell asleep in the middle of it) but we haven't seen a game since! We don't have patience for 10 innings of baseball.  I am NOT saying that these sports aren't exciting or aren't important. I'm just saying 'It's not our thing'. 
Motocross seems to be the sport of choice.  My husband practiced and raced since he was a tot.  It later turned into freestyle/ Evil Knievel and I'm sure you could predict the ending in that story! Yup...he had a major injury in which he retired at 18.
So now we live in the motocross center of the country and we love it.  It only took me 4 years to accept that this beach babe was permanently located in the woods.  I will get more into our story, his injury, and where we live later on.
So THE Supercross season starts on the West Coast every year in January!! 
For beginners let me break it down....

mo·to·cross /ˈmoʊtoʊˌkrɔs, -ˌkrɒs/ Show Spelled[moh-toh-kraws, -kros] noun

a timed motorcycle race over a closed course consisting of a winding dirt trail with hills, jumps, sharp turns, and often muddy terrain.

Usually OUTDOORS and the long season is in the summer to early fall months.

su·per·cross noun \ˈsü-pər-ˌkrȯs

a motorcycle race held in a stadium on a dirt track having hairpin turns and high jumps 

So...if you ask me, Supercross is where it's at!! The season lasts from January to May.  The night Cain was born was literally the opening night of the 2010 SX season...and the nurses, the doctor, and I all waited for the boys to finish watching the race before we got the go ahead to push!  Aha...I'll save that for a later post too!

So, last weekend was the closest and BEST Supercross of the season, Atlanta.  We usually have all of our friends there and it's just a really fun weekend!!  I will totally take a weekend getaway anytime, anywhere! 

Here are some fun pics and footage from last weekend...

Here is where we ate... Two Urban Licks ONE of the BEST in Atlanta!

Our Aussie friend who tagged along but came by taxi, by himself, thought he was "getting taken'... This is too funny because Two Urban Licks is located in an alley in a creepy revamped warehouse!!  Good Story.

The atmosphere is fabulously romantic with gigantic silk poppy's, floating fabric lanterns, intimate mural covered in candles lit from the floor to the ceiling. The kitchen is located in the center of Two Urban with a wrap around bar for seating.

The food is a 'fiery American cuisine' including fresh seafood, steaks, to die for empenadas and so on.

The bar is fully stocked including infused drinks that are on display above the bar. They have 42 'Wine Kegs'...all on display and for your tasting pleasure!

CHECK. THEM. OUT!!

Here are a few pics from Atlanta Supercross 2012...

As we have been told by our friend/previous coach from the Atlanta Falcons on his home field.... 'He has NEVER seen a production and such an awesome event'  That's worth telling people!!  If you ever get a chance GO!!

That's all for now...
