Anniversary Trip Update 1

Thought it would be fun to do a little posting while we are away.  No pictures today as I didn't take my iPad.


 Yesterday was long.  Everything went without a hitch, just long day.  Considering we were flying United, it was a pleasant surprise :). We didn't get to our hotel in Lexington until 1:45am, so getting up at 6:30 was tough.  We had a lovely surprise of a bottle of wine and a card from our friend, Michelle who booked this lovely trip for us.  it was too late to crack it last night, but today will do just as well! The horse farm tour that we took to kick off our trip was awesome.  Lots of info to be absorbed, lots of great sites including Keeneland.  What a beautiful track and area.  Everything is so green down here.  Seems that horse farms are very much for the rich folks that are self made in business or own sport teams or are Saudi sheiks, etc.  And all these places have miles of fences and only one or two horses to be seen.  One farm we drove by had 600 acres and 60 horses. Crazy.  Once our tour wrapped up, we found some lunch and decided to crash after our 4 1/2 hour tour.  Our hour nap turned into 3, but I finally feel human again. Josh is still snoozing, but I am hoping to wake him up and go shopping for a bit.  Time to find the perfect decoration for my hat!

Tomorrow we are going to do the Kentucky Horse Park and a bourbon distillery.  Should be fun.
