So yesterday I donned a beautiful hat, a pretty dress and experienced The Kentucky Derby for the first time! It was a long day but very worth it. I had a great time with the family, tried a Lily and a Mint Julep and saw some amazing, beautiful horses!

My mother in law made my hat. I am exhausted today but it was well worth it. We had a really good time! Definitely would recommend going! I even tried betting but didn't win a thing! 8y
britt_brooke Fun! I'm a Kentucky native but I've never been to the derby. I've been to Churchill several times (once for the Breeder's Cup). It's a fun place. I never win either so I usually just drink mint juleps and watch. 😝 8y
Ruri_kaichou She made it?! Amazing! 😱😎 8y
Hooked_on_books You look amazing! Sounds like a fun day. 🏇🏾 8y

Anyone else watching the Kentucky Derby? This is one of the hats I made for derby day a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't have the all the stuff needed to make mint juleps, but I'll never pass up an excuse to pop a bottle of bubbly😉
