As most of you may know, I recently moved to Louisville! Steven helped me move down and we made a trip to the bourbon distilleries, Lincoln's Boyhood home, and Churchill Downs and had a great time. Now that Hanley Central is working, I figured I should start contributing.
For those of you who don't know, Churchill Downs is the sight of the Kentucky Derby each May. There are three sides to the Derby: 1) The infamous wild infield...Described as Kentucky's Mardi Gras, and quite a unique experience 2) The sun dresses, big hats, and elegant side, or 3) Sit at home and watch the best 2 minutes in a horse race....Plus more...the mint juleps, festivals, twin spires, and the history.
It's a fun place to go and bet on horses, Steve and I had, and I try to do more often when there are races. Even the most simple 2$ bet turns into a good time, even when you win big on an accidental bet. (hehe, that was fun!)
As a recent work outing, we went to the track in Millionaire's Row (Yes, I actually have fun at work and work outings! I even learned to sail at one a few weeks ago!) We ate lunch and made bets in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed this past Derby! I could feel the British Royalty rubbing off on me, and came out winning a few dollars by the end of the day. Hopefully y'all can enjoy the pictures and get an experience for yourself. Else, you might actually have to come visit me some day!
The view up there is quite amazing, and more pictures can be seen in the link below:
