Vintage Car Race

 
Over the summer,  I visited a small town in Wisconsin called Elkhart Lake. It's normally a quiet town with not a lot of commotion with the exception of one weekend.  Vintage car weekend. This weekend people come from all over the world, across the ocean, and over on the mountains and plains of America to witness this exciting event. In these few days, instead of only 970 people living in this little town of  Elkhart Lake, there are now 3000 people!

This orange car was the brightest car I  have ever seen. When I looked inside,  I was amazed to see how many buttons there were, and I saw how different the car was than your normal Ford or Honda.

I adored this red race car, for it shines in the sun like a mirror. I would not want to drive this though. I would no be able to tell apart the radio and air-conditioning. Let alone, me driving it. :-) But, my brother, Jake, would think the exact opposite and want to sit shotgun while Ayrton Senna da Silva, World Driving Champion , raced around the track.

This was one of my favorite cars at the race. The unique style and the sky blue color astonished me.

Elkhart Lake!

                                             

                                              Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin was a blast!


This summer, I spent five weeks in a small town, population 967, called Elkhart Lake, located in Wisconsin.

I swam a lot because there are two pools and a refreshing spring fed lake in the resort. In the vast lake, we enjoy doing watersports. Watersports is where you can tube, wakeboard, and water ski.
I have been coming here for eight years now, so I have tried all of the wet sports.

In 2006, we bought a cozy condo in the Grand Victorian,
and have been staying there ever since.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we need somewhere to eat. That's where Off The Rail comes in handy. My dad and I treasure biking to Off The Rail, and we order a delicious panni with ham and cheese.
