We got spoiled this year with grandstand seats and a week long visit to Louisville! Down side, we almost missed out on Derby due to thunderstorms and a tornado warning. But look who you're talking about here, we weren't about to let Mother Nature rain on our parade =)
We spent the first part of the week spending some QT with Shaun's parents and then the troops arrived to join all the festivities. We convinced Meredith to come along again for her second year, hopefully that's a tradition we can keep, and added Muge and Sue to the party. This was one of the best Derby's yet. We love sharing the experience with our friends and family!!! Hint, hint, any takers for next year?!?!
The Chow Wagon is one of our favorite spots, we hit it up several times throughout the week. They have more food than you can even imagine and have concerts on the waterfront every night. You can obviously see why Shaun loved it so much...
We had a gorgeous sunny day for the Oaks, and especially enjoyed the Lily's!
And then we had to make a shopping trip before heading back for the Derby, what's a horse race without rain boots ;) And apparently that was the fashionable accessory as it enabled us to walk the red carpet entrance along with The Jacksons, Mario Lopez, Bob Costas, TO, just to name a few.
