Date night for Dane and I...yeah! MeMaw babysat the girls and we went downtown Athens and meet our friends, Katie and Mark at the Basil Press for an adult only dinner. (They got a babysitter too) Finally a dinner that doesn't consist of chicken nuggets or mac 'n cheese. It was a nice dinner and right on the bike route so we could see the women's race from the restaurant. After dinner we went across the street to watch the men's bike race. They race around downtown about 70 times give or take. We were watching at a sharp turn and saw several big wipe outs. It was like a dominos effect. One would go and then about 10 guys behind would fall too. It was exciting to watch. Apparently this twilight race is an annual tradition and has been going on for 30 + years. While downtown, we ran into my friend, Lindsay (also our neighbor) and her boyfriend, Jeff. It was amazing how many people were downtown. There were even people watching the race from the trees...I am not kidding!
