30 Comes Early

Adam turns The Big 3-0 in October. I knew I wanted to do something big for his big birthday. Something fun and exciting since he's slightly depressed about his milestone birthday. Ha! I debated ideas for awhile and then one day I got a Groupon email for an exotic car driving experience at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For a lamborghini. Adam's favorite car. The car he has dreamed of driving since he was a kid. The car he thought he would never be able to drive. The perfect gift for a 30th birthday. Sold.

I wish the date had been a little closer to his actual birthday, but it actually worked out great because he was totally surprised! I wrote up some hints and put them in numbered envelopes for him to open. It was pretty funny because he had no idea what was going on.
 


For weeks he watched videos of lamborghinis and even debated for awhile about driving the Ferrari instead. The day of the drive Adam was soooo excited. It was a lot of fun just seeing him be so geared up. (pun inteded) By no means do I know anything about cars, but it was cool just to be around all the rare, and very expensive, cars. We were surrounded by Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Adam was basically drooling. When he finally got to drive, he did just as he dreamed about. He floored it and went way over 100 mph on the straight aways. He took most of the corners with tires squeeling. He was in heaven. And then he drove like a maniac the whole way home.

Signing his life away. And possibly all our life savings.
And maybe one of the girls.

waiting in line!

getting in the lambo....notice the red ferrari
  
can you believe how short these cars are!? Adam had to scrunch his head down to fit!
 

This lamborghini was not running that day because the rotars had worn down.
The guy said they would cost $15,000 to replace!!! What the what!?

Happy Birthday, Babe. You work so hard to provide for us so I can stay home. I'm so glad you're my partner in this crazy gig called parenting. And I'm proud of the life we've built together. I'll love you even when you're for real old. Not just 30 old.
