Adopted - War Babe - Part 16 - Getting to Know my Bio Family and Planning a Trip to Meet Them

I continue to text a few of my bio family. My half brother, Tim, my cousin, Robin and Deb (sisters) my uncle Don and my uncle Rick.  It is fun getting to know them as real people!  Also, they keep sending me pictures of family members.  I am more grateful than they will ever know that they are doing this!  My husband and I are trying to plan a trip to meet many of my bio family in August.  We are huge NASCAR fans too, and so one of my bucket list races is the night race in Bristol, Tennessee.  We cannot travel that far and NOT go to that race, which by the way is in August!  We are still trying to work out the logistics of the race and visiting my bio relatives however, so we aren't quite sure when we will be there.  BUT, the race is the night of August 18th, so for sure we will be there for the race at that time. Just not sure if we will go to Kentucky before or after the race!  I am getting very excited for both reasons!  I cant wait to meet everyone, although since we don't seem to be able to stay on a Saturday, not sure we will get to see everyone since they work and we just may not be close enough to where they live to see them.  That makes me sad, but it is what it is.  Money and time away are the issues here!!
Here are some of the pictures I have been blessed to have:

My birth father is on the far right, and the rest of these great folks are my Uncles and an aunt. All but the back two are gone now.  Uncle Don and Uncle Rick. 

These folks are my grand parents!  Not sure which boy is with them, but I am told I look very much like my Granny Tackett! :)  That does make me smile!
