The Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby

We headed back to Churchill Downs Saturday in time to take advantage of our Derby VIP tickets for lunch. It was another beautiful day and once again, Jamie put her fashion skills together and dressed us up appropriately. Enjoy the pictures, folks, last time you’ll see me in clothes like this.

Not a whole lot to say about this day. It was pretty much identical to Oaks day. We spent a good combination of enjoying our VIP clubhouse and watching the races from our seats. We had lots of bets to put in for family members and out of the group we had quite a few winner including Jim, who won about $450 after subtracting his bets. Again, it was all very electric and these two days were an experience we’ll never forget.
