Kentucky Derby

We Planned a Trip to Kentucky to visit some of Sarahs family, and luckily for us, it was also the same weekend that the Derby was taking place!!!

 It is held at Churchill Downs in Louisville (Properly pronounced by the locals - Lou-a-vul)

Thanks to Sarahs’ grandmother we found ourselves watching the derby, sharing a box with some fun people, enjoying many amint julep!!

Made a few bets on the races, but I think i'm all lucked out about now, so I didnt win anything!!
