Darlington

My mom and I are getting ready to leave for a weekend trip to Darlington. I looked on the all-knowing Google for pictures of Darlington, and here's what I found:

This is Darlington in England.



This is the Darlington Brick Train:



There's even a Darlington Nuclear Power Plant.


Oh, and there's a racetrack.



Which one are we going to? Well, we're going to Ireland later this month so two trips to Europe in one month doesn't make sense. I don't know where the brick train is, and we're probably not allowed in the nuclear plant, so we're going to Darlington racetrack in South Carolina, meeting my brother of course. I will return lobster-fried and deaf, but happy :). Wish me luck!

I'm no pair of dancing shoes..

So yeah, I saw Gavin DeGraw. And met him. He is a phenomenal performer. He has such a stage presence and you can really tell by his facial expressions and how he gets into his singing that he really loves what he's doing and it's not just some performance. It's what he loves. It was amazing!
