We celebrated our twelve year wedding anniversary at the Long Beach Grand Prix since Mazda gave D two tickets. The tickets came with meal vouchers. For lunch, we split a mediocre salad and sandwich.
Next we checked out the Mazda tent and said hi to some of the drivers, who were signing autographs.
We watched part of a race with jumping mini trucks.
Then we headed to the exhibition hall and hung out in the Mazda lounge for a bit since it was nice and air-conditioned with one of D’s co-workers. We also ran into one of our church friends who works for Mazda’s ad agency.
After that, we walked around and took in the view of the Long Beach Harbor.
Finally, it was race time. We used up our other voucher on hot dogs for dinner. Mazda had a pretty decent showing, so that was exciting. Of course, it was incredibly loud. We didn’t stay for the whole race, but it was an enjoyable day.
