Derby day is always such a fun and exciting time!! We didn't quite make it to Kentucky but Gulfstream Park horse track, in Hallandale Beach, Fl provided a perfect backdrop for the "Race for the Roses".
Although there were no actual horse races on the track that day the endless supply of "off track betting", Signature Mint Juleps, Derby hat contests, prize drawings etc.supplied a wonderful ambiance in which to wear our Derby finery, sip our Juleps, place our bets and hope for the best!!!
Leaving for the Track! In my "new" vintage 1970's suit!!! (never before worn I die!!)
Brittany, Connor, & I at our reserved seats for our day at the races! Poor Chris always gets elected to grab the Juleps, get the programs, place the bets, etc. etc. etc. lol!!!
We have a winner!!! Connor nearly fainted as we each cheered for our perspective horses and Connors choice won!!! After receiving his winnings enjoying all the fab races and celebrating with a wonderful dinner (to the victor go the spoils! Lol!) we happily retired home to rest up for Cinco de Mayo!!!!
We indulged in all the delectable treats that Cinco de Mayo has to offer. Chips, Salsa, Guacamole, Queso, various Mexican especiales, Sopapillas and Sangria!! Yummy, yummy.
The party was full of music, games, dancing, & prizes ,we took home Mexican poncho koozies, Mexican hat bottle openers, party favor margarita bead neck candy, and wonderful memories!! I hope you enjoyed your weekend endeavors as well!! TTYL<3
