Welcome dorsum to Travel Tuesday! Last weekend (as some of yous mightiness know past times now) I went to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby.
This was my 2nd official yr going too it's difficult to say, but this trip was fifty-fifty ameliorate than the last; I flew inwards a somebody airplane for the starting fourth dimension time, I made it on the Kentucky Derby snapchat even too I won big at the track!
Pretty exciting stuff, right? Let's larn started:
Packed upwards my things Wed nighttime for our flying out on Thursday. Had to give a picayune sneak peek of the things I was packing on instagram:
Flights are crazy expensive to Louisville for Derby weekend. Last yr Andrew too I flew inwards to Cincinnati too drove to Louisville (just a brusk hr drive). So knowing that this year, nosotros flew into Atlanta to run across upwards amongst my sis too therefore wing to Louisville from there.
Caught a prissy sentiment of the isle equally nosotros were leaving!
When nosotros landed inwards Atlanta, nosotros were driven over to the somebody airdrome to board the airplane (!!!). I of course of written report ate some popcorn too watched the draft earlier nosotros boarded.
This was our plane! H5N1 proficient household unit of measurement friend of ours who took us to the derby arranged the flying to Louisville. It was actually truly cool! I was gratuitous to motion most the cabin...
My sis too I in i trial nosotros got into Louisville #bathroomselfie
We got inwards pretty belatedly Th nighttime therefore nosotros popped on over to the hotel too passed out.

Andrew too I also works life fourth dimension to get got some weblog photos. For the most part, it was a pretty relaxing day!
For dinner nosotros went to Z's Oyster Bar too Steak House. Ohhhh human being oh human being was it delicious! We had an array of nutrient to direct from for appetizers too for the top dog course of written report I chose the duck.
I'm a total meat eater too I unremarkably ever larn for a rare steak but whenever in that location is a proficient duck selection on the card I discovery myself ordering it too never beingness disappointed!
After dinner I met upwards amongst a few friends too nosotros went to karaoke exterior of downtown. It was a total dive bar, beer was $3 too it was awesome. Of course of written report I sang (I dearest karaoke)! My larn to vocal is "Shoop" past times Salt too Peppa too lets simply country I killed the club.
Saturday:
The solar daytime was finally here! Derby!! The gates opened upwards unopen to 10am (near the start fourth dimension of the starting fourth dimension race) but the actual Kentucky Derby race wasn't until 6:45. So nosotros got to the rail unopen to 1pm which gave me the fourth dimension to larn ready!
Half the fun of going to Derby is picking out your hat. I had a picayune anxiety since I wasn't inwards Kentucky the yr to attempt i one, but it all worked out! I worked amongst who brand my chapeau lastly year) this yr too she makes the most amazing hats. If you're ever inwards the marketplace for a hat, fascinator or hascinator yous should definitely check her out!
She makes custom orders (which is what mine is) too she has a agency of making it unique therefore you're non simply a chapeau inwards the crowd piece also making it gibe seamlessly into your look!
Here was Andrews await for Derby -- thanks to Vineyard Vines for the abrupt threads! (See what he wore lastly yr here)
Here's my total look:
We were in i trial once to a greater extent than blessed amongst amazing weather! It was a perfect solar daytime too I fifty-fifty got a picayune color. Thankfully my chapeau covered most of my shoulders therefore I didn't larn an horrendous tan lines.
We watched all the races, ate a lot of nutrient too sipped on some mint juleps. It was a cracking solar daytime to win some money! There were also therefore many people in that location this year. I works life out that this Derby laid a attendance tape (by a lot) too it was similar I had thousands of my closest friends amongst me.
We won big on the race past times picking American Pharaoh too boxing some of the field. It was a lot of fun actually getting into it too it paying off! The thank yous too screams were therefore fun.
But therefore inwards a flash it's over. It's therefore weird how the whole solar daytime works. It's similar yous hold off too are anticipating the entire solar daytime for 2 minutes of action. Sure in that location are other races but it's ever simply such a weird feeling later the race that it's over! Either agency it was withal the most perfect day!
After a solar daytime of beingness inwards the Sun too on our feet, nosotros were actually truly exhausted. We grabbed a quick seize amongst teeth to swallow at a identify nigh the hotel too therefore passed out.
SUNDAY:
It was our concluding solar daytime inwards Louisville :( We spent the forenoon hanging around, resting too packing for the trip home. We got to the (busy) somebody airdrome inwards Louisville packed upwards our things, too were off to Atlanta!

On the decent down, I was able to hop upwards forepart amongst Brandon too experience a total landing. Of course of written report I didn't touching on a affair but it was withal therefore so therefore cool. Fun fact: when I was younger, I wanted to live a airplane pilot too I'm withal to this solar daytime trying to figure out where I tin get got flying lessons!
On our trip dorsum to NYC, nosotros flew over the metropolis too Andrew was able to catch this shot. Pretty cool agency to come upwards home, right?
And that was it! Short too sweetness but oh therefore fulfilling! I can't hold off to larn dorsum in i trial to a greater extent than side past times side year.
