When we arrived in Lexington on Thursday, it didn’t take long for me to fall in love all over again (of course the elegant charm of my aunt and uncle’s home probably had something to do with it). After a little bit of catching up, the five of us settled down for a delicious dinner or filets, corn on the cob, and an assortment of the freshest vegetables. Then it was off to the largest liquor store I’ve ever seen where the Beer Snob found some Berliner Kindl Weiss. Believe me, he was beside himself with excitement, and fell in love with his first sip. One other thing I discovered about Kentucky that really made me reminisce to my younger years, was the presence of those little bugs that sporadically light up to the excitement of all the little children who spy them: fireflies.
The 4th of July came in all too soon for my liking. It definitely seems as though the summer is flying by. To celebrate our country’s birthday, we headed off to the horse farms and the races at Churchill Downs. Talk about some good photo subjects! My parents and I really enjoyed seeing the mare that started such a legacy, Timeless Girl. Then it was off to Louisville to see the beautiful Tip Top H.A.T. We all got a little more experience in wagering at the races, and I learned quite a lot about the horse industry itself (great practice for Saratoga in a month). Nothing satisfies your stomach after a long day on the 4th like some BBQ. And it’s even more fun when you go with a gaggle of Bunnings, that is if you can still hear when it’s over. We are, to say the least, a loud crew, as many of you probably already know.
Now it is off to northern Kentucky to get ready for my cousin’s wedding. I’m sure there will be many more family pictures to share come tomorrow…
