Formula 1 Weekend in Singapore!

What an amazing and exciting weekend we had with the Formula 1 in town!!

I have to be honest, racing isn't MY thing-but it is Brian's, so when I agreed to go on Saturday all day to the F1 events I was not sure how much fun it would be. I was SO pleasantly surprised at what a great time we had! The people, the cars, the excitement-it was contagious. Brian and I had so much fun!

After hearing about how much fun Grant had on Friday, and then my day on Saturday-sweet Madeline was a little sad that she didn't agree to go when we bought the tickets 6 months ago. :) She wishes now that she would have.

Singapore put so much into the weekend, and the year long preparations were evident. Hosting the FIRST night Formula 1 race is a big deal, but to also have it look so effortless and go off without a hitch is amazing. The city was lit up and it made for a beautiful backdrop to the event. Looking forward to (maybe?) going again next year?!?!? ....not sure if we will be here for it, but crossing fingers and toes that we will be. :)

Here are a few more photos of our fun F1 weekend.

First night Formula 1 race in Singapore

Brian took Grant to the Formula 1 Practice session today. They went in the afternoon and watched support races by BMW, Porsche, and Aston Martin. When it got dark, the Formula 1 cars came out. Grant LOVED it! He didn't love how LOUD the engines were even with ear plugs in. Brian's fav part?? Listening to the different engines of the cars. Crazy boy who loves cars!! It's like Christmas for him right now-he is ALL ABOUT this weekend of Formula 1 here. I am going all day tomorrow with him for the Qualifying Races. Maddie and Grant will be with friends all day/night. And then Brian is taking his friend Matt to the actual race on Sunday.

Here are some highlight photos from their day at Formula 1.

Chinese Lantern Festival in Singapore

Chinese Lantern Festival in Singapore

For the Chinese community, this is a very important time. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, is an auspicious time to gather together and reunite families and friends, many whom come together to enjoy mooncakes, Chinese tea and appreciate the moon at it fullest. Chinatown is lit up with hundreds of lanterns and lights. You can also view the lanterns along the river at Clarke Quay where we went last night.

We joined the Erhardt family, minus hubby Tom who is in the USA for business trip. We ate dinner outside along the river at Cafe Iguana (great margaritas!). After a yummy dinner we walked along the river to view the beautiful, giant, amazing lanterns. The kids were in awe, all the lights and the people. A full moon was shining overhead, perfect for the night. We found a vendor selling lanterns (with battery powered lights, not the typical candles-a lot safer for the kiddos) and they walked along with their own lanterns. We had such a fun time!

Above you will see highlight photos.

Party for WHO???

I called my sister yesterday to see how they are doing with that hurricane going on in her area. Lucky for them, it had changed direction and was headed more west of their location in the panhandle of Florida. I was so happy and relieved, but she then told me she had even more exciting news to tell me. More exciting than a Hurricane??

Kick butt sister, with her fab parties has snagged another celeb client in the LA area. Yes, Miss Mix Mingle Glow is planning a party for......can't write the name.....but here are the initials. B.S.
