We cashed in just two tickets in two days, Oaks and Derby, and didn't lose any money!

Hey Andrea!

He did look fabulous, but my husband thought he looked ridulous in his purple suit. My dh said he was going to wear a seersucker (sp?) suit next year tho. lol Carson's hair really looked good! He has good hair. I just wore a black hat with lime green flowers to match my dress. We did see some funny hats in the crowd. Our company tent was in an area where you have a dress code so the attire was pretty classy. It is such a classy event! There was a guy taking promo pictures of all the hats people's hats in our tent. Sure wish I had done that. The dresses and the hats were beautiful.

It is great being able to do these trips but there are hitting us all at the same time! It is really hard leaving the kids. My mother came to watch the kids this past week and ended up with the flu on Saturday. Luckily, she called my good friend here to help out and my dad was able to come down later that day. Seems like something aways happens! My in-laws are coming in Friday and it is also Friday the 13th....hummm?

Have a good Monday!

Can you believe I didn't take any pictures of my dh and me? I have some great pictures of the crowd and the horses! My Digital camera was able to zoom in on the Suites where the "stars" are so I randomly took pictures in hopes of getting that picture I can sell to the some gossip magazines...I might have made my millions anyways!lol

Thanks Mel! I hope to have a safe trip next week. It always makes me nervous when my dh and I leave the kids. I plan to sit by the pool or the beach most of the time and do nothing!

Kate, you must go just to say you did! And if you can go to 4th street afterwards or hang out by the Brown Hotel. They have really changed 4th Street, it is so cool! They have a new Hard Rock there too. Our group always gets into the Brown Hotel Derby night but I didn't want to go to my dh's dissappointment. I haven't heard who all was there that the group got to meet because we left early Sunday morning. You always have well known people there and around there. On my 5th Wedding anniversary, my dh took me to the Brown Hotel for dinner while there I meet Dave Matthews which was so cool! He had a concert that weekend in Louisville. I got to see him open up for the Grateful Dead in Vegas the year Jerry Garcia passed away and before they became big. I bet you didn't know Louisville was so cool. lol
