What a great weekend! Thank you seems inadequate. (So, I put 3 "thank yous" in the title in different languages.)
Most blog readers were there, so no need for the usual tedious detail. Thursday was a slow, wet, traffic-laden drive in. Friday was spent at the Downs for the Oaks. Never been at the track when everybody in the group was winning. (Thanks to Lucky Chucky.) Saturday was a great day highlighted by a front row view of the Derby, time w/ great friends, and a trip to the paddock for Race 2. Mostly losers in the picking department, but that was ok. (Congrats to Carey who won w/ Street Sense. 2nd year in a row for him. Will start calling him Lucky Carey.)
Special thanks to ...
Uncle Brian for treating us to a really special experience ... even at the expense of the owners of Double or Nothing.
Uncle Greg for the smoked turkey, parking pass, & already on-line pictures.
Aunt Linda for the early reservation of the space and Nathan for the security presence.
G-G Fitz for the companionship & watching Alex for stretches.
The Alexanders, Cynthia/Paul, and the Timins for being such great relatives/friends.
Lucky Chucky for the free money.
KMD, Sparky, Scott, & the fabulous Dolberry Sisters for a full day w/ a full house of under 10 year olds.
And most of all Mom & Dad ... flat out the best parents anyone could ask for. I hope I grow up to be like you guys. (KMD says I've already grown up. Oh well.)
