Nick Derus

Vroom, the car started and the trip to my cottage in honor of my papa’s birthday began. He was turning 81 and living the life of a 25 year old. This trip was big, almost my entire family was going to be there, my uncles and most of my cousins were coming. I was traveling with my dad, brother, uncle and cousin. Then we stopped at the traditional go-cart track on the way. My brother, cousin and I strapped in and fired up the engines. We took off at 20 mph and crashed and slammed into each other. My cousin lost control and stopped perpendicular to the track. My brother sped up and t-boned him, they both stopped in shock. I sped up with a burst of adrenaline and collided with them at full speed. We got kicked out, but what a great start to a great trip.

Sounds like a fun start to a vacation.
