Yesterday was great! We had the opportunity to go to watch the Virginia Gold Cup Horse Races. Scott's company was one of the sponsors of the event, so we got to chill in a nice sponsors tent on 'Members Hill' and eat posh yummy food when we weren't watching races.The atmosphere was totally interesting. Everybody is dressed up, women wearing beautiful hats, most men in sport coats, or at least shirts and ties, horse-owners reeking of money...it was a PARTY! We decided to make it a special big-boy day for Kyle, so we left Colby at home with the Madrishins. Kyle loved being spoiled and having mom and dad all to himself for a few hours.
This was my first opportunity to watch any LIVE horse racing. It was exciting stuff! Even though there was no betting involved, and I didn't know one horse from the next, I definitely got into it! The horse with our favorite name of the day WON the final Gold Cup Race... Bubble Economy! (The owner is now enjoying his $75k purse!)

It does sound like a lot of fun! Pretty cool company activity too!
It is so FUN to go to the out of the ordinary places. Looks like it was a beautiful day. You look great, by the way. Congrats on getting projects around the house done. Hooray for hard working husbands who "need" little helpers.
