CCV & DDD

Sunday morning we attended church with Perry & Darlene at Christ's Church of the Valley.  They have attend there for many years, and watched the church grow into what it is now.  http://www.ccvonline.com/Arena/default.aspx  The church focuses it's outreach on men in their 20's - 40's, with the idea that the men will bring their families.  It is a very friendly non-denominational church with a beautiful campus fulfilling the spiritual needs of all age ranges.  The message and worship time was much appreciated and we enjoyed it. 

After church we headed to a bbq restaurant that has been featured by Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network.  When we travel, we always check online and see what restaurants are recommended in that area.  We have eaten some great meals this way.  http://www.theepittsagain.com/  Thee Pitts, Again was pretty good!  Since we do our own smoked bbq, we love to try bbq places, and sometimes are disappointed, but this was not a disappointment.  We all ordered something different and sampled each other's food.  They had good flavor to the meats, and a good variety of sides.  I had a baked yam, which is something we aren't able to order at home much. 

The rest of the day was spent hanging out and watching the opening race of the 2011 Nascar season with the race at Daytona, FL.  We had been there in June, right before they tore up the track and resurfaced.  As we watched the race, we were already anticipating the race the following Sunday - in Phoenix!
