So that is the results, as you can see we placed 40th overall and are coming home with 2 trophies, Yahoooooo to us.

With this under our belt, we cannot be happier, even though we did not get any calls in the 4 meat catagories.

After the awards and pack up we headed out to Ruby Tuesdays for some non bbq food and a few drinks.

Once back at the hotel John and I joined Brian, Craig and John from Big Sid's BBQ for a few drinks, and a few drinks it was,LOL

These are the boys who introduced me to Bacardi Raspberry rum back in 2007 and this time around it was Peach rum.

They are a very bad influence on me, let me tell you.

Now while having a few drinks in their room it was decided that it was time to shave Craigs head so shave it we did, and then it was time for them to initiate John into thier wacky little club, and John figured why fight em as they would have out manouvered him anyways. So John got shaved as well.

Very interesting to see my hubby without hair, LOL

When you touch his head today it feels like a cats tounge, LOL

I'm finally in the process of uploading pics to my webshots page and should have them done by tomorrow now that I have a decent internet connection.

Ok, off to jump in the tub for a well deserved soak.

See you all in the morning.
