Brats, Cars and Beer!

Good Evening Y'all!

Whew. Today was a long one. This morning I went to work at 7 am, after being up all night trying to figure out my new awesome blog ;) 

Today on Ramstein the Enlisted Club did their first Car Show. Usually it would have been a success, but of course Germany wanted to hand us some bad weather! This morning it was a lovely one. The wind was blowing and it felt so nice outside. My friend, Amanda, and I made burritos to sell to the bikers before they left for the Poker Run. 

I am sure you are thinking, "What is a Poker Run?" Well, I can tell ya! It is where the bikers (motorcycles) drive 2 hours out and 2 hours back, stopping along the way at different locations. When they stop, they are to pick up a card from a certain spot, bring all the cards back and they are given prizes based on the hands they are given! It is a totally awesome idea and they had a lot of fun!

After we got done selling our awesome burritos, my car showed up! ;)

Haha. I wish! The awesome people for ADAC brought this out for everyone to take pictures with and drool over.

So after my car showed up, we were told to sell some awesome hamburgers from the restaurant, J.R. Rockers. We set up everything to make some money!
Some awesome vendors came out to show everyone what they had going on! There were two big hits though! The Red Bull promoters and the Kawasaki Motorcycle promoters.

Kawasaki Military Sales were raffling this sweet Ninja motorcycle to one lucky winner. They were also raffling a two night stay at the beautiful Edelweiss Resort & Lodge in Garmisch, Germany. (We are going there in two weeks, and I am excited!)
I did sign Thomas up for the Ninja giveaway and I signed up for the Edelweiss giveaway! Let's just say, I hope I am the winner and not him. ;)

Red Bull was giving out there new energy drinks. They have come out with 3 new flavors that are pretty tasty! They now have blueberry, cranberry and lime flavored Red Bulls. They also came out to the show with this AWESOME race track simulator! All the boys and men were waiting in line to give the simulator a spin. :)
I really liked the blueberry and lime flavors!



It was the recipe for the perfect day. I mean who doesn't love awesome brats, some pretty sweet cars, and ice cold beer?! Well mother nature had something else in mind, of course.

Around 1 PM it decided to rain! It was horrible but that didn't stop these car lovers from having fun! There were still fun games and contests going on for adults and kids! My favorite game to watch was the pickle game. It was where the adults tied a pickle around their waist, put their hands on their head and had to move the matchbox car to the other side of the stage only thrusting their hips! It was a great thing to watch and absolutely hilarious.

The rain got heavier after a hour, so they shut down the food vendors. Although they shut us down, the car lovers were still sticking it out and showing off their cars!

After I got off, I came home. Thomas was cleaning like crazy because his parents are coming to visit in a week! We cleaned and cleaned. After I got done cleaning, I was so tired I couldn't even walk. The rain can knock you on your butt when you didn't get any sleep the night before.
So I laid down and read a new book, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, and fell asleep mid read! It is now 3:15 in the morning over here in good ole' Germany!

This girl is tired y'all so she is going to bed!
I hope everyone in the States has a great Saturday evening and everyone in Germany is sleeping tight!

Have a good one y'all :)

Sincerely,

The Southern Bookworm
