Sigh. Again?

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. It is the spring, after all.

Since it was raining yesterday, Greg and I took ourselves off to the movies to see the latest Avengers iteration, Thunderbolts. It was fun.

Today, we took a tour of the Kentucky Derby Museum and Churchill Downs.

It was fun to imagine all the people in their fancy clothes and hats milling around on race day.

A couple of photos from our visit to the museum:

And a couple of photos from our visit to Churchill Downs:

The famous twin spires.
Mint juleps are “the thing” at the Kentucky Derby, apparently.
Gate #17 has never had a winning horse. I feel sorry for whoever draws that unlucky number!

We managed to get into the car before it started raining, but by the time we got back to the campground, it was pouring.

Tomorrow we head to Ohio for our trip back home.
