I didn't know we would be at the races for 5 hours but as Mike pointed it out, "that's why they call it a day at the races." And so went our day...
At some point we had to eat, of course, while still keeping an eye on the horses.
The first race; and they're off!
We decided to place bets on every single race (10/11 of them) once we watched the first one and saw what went down. The only races we'd ever been to was in college when we'd drink in the fields while the horses raced.
Our first win was Nana Beach (we chose names based on what we liked..ha.) The reason we chose this one was because we both had a Nana that we'd lost. And guess what? Nana won!!!
Fen and I were cheering on Virginia Tech-- and the won in OT! My sister-in-law just started her first official week there and she was front row for the show.
Mike's first time placing a bet for the races, but certainly not our last...
PS..don't ask about the hair. I may or may not have gotten a little cray cray with the back, "forcing" Mike to buzz his hair. It fits well though, since we currently live in a military down. Love you, B!
