Let the Races Begin

November 2-4th, 2012

Louisville, Kentucky

Lauren drove over to St. Louis to scratch off city 27: Louisville, KY.  Amanda came on this trip and invited her friend Claire to join.  What a great girls weekend away.

Saturday we decided we were going to the horse races.  I woke up early to get a quick run in before we headed to the mall to waste a hour.  Around 12 we headed for Churchhill Downs.  When we arrived we bought $3 tickets to the horse races.  There was going to be a total of 10 races Saturday and we didn't want to miss a single race.  When we arrived we were just wondering around trying to figure out where to go.  I stopped a man named Bob that ended up being a pretty big deal around there.  He ended up taking us all over the place.  He took us down to the Paddock where we met trainers, owners, jockey's, and horses of course!  We headed to the winner circle and just walked all over the place like we knew what was going on.  Before the end of the day we were in the box suites!  What a great day.  I didn't win any money, but I can sure pick a horse for someone else to win.  When I bet, some how I never won.

Saturday night we headed to a fun night in Bardstown.  That next morning we headed to Lynn's restaurant where anything weird is accepted before heading to Louisville Slugger museum. 

27 was a success!
