Road Trippin'

This past weekend some friends and I road tripped up to Kentucky to visit our friend Gloria.  Gloria is awesome!  She has been working with some people from her church for the past 2 years or so to start a coffee shop and teen center for their town.  The coffee shop is up and running, and making some bawlin' drinks, and the teen center will be open around Christmas.  One of the best parts of the trip was getting to surprise her by bringing an extra member of the crew.  Gotta love a good surprise! :)



One of my personal favorite parts of the trip was going to Keeneland Race Tracks. I had not been to a horse race before and I'll just sum it all up by saying it was a memorable experience.  Although next time I go I will be sure to drink a lot more water because I learned that there is a lot of standing at these events.

Basically, below there are going to be a lot of pictures of horses.  I got a slight trigger happy with my camera and, well, it was kind of like I was afraid I would never be able to see a horse again because I took more pictures of horses than anything else this weekend.  Can you tell I was raised in the city?

 

(Had to throw in one of the John Deere that pulled the gate since the day before I got to Kentucky my entire school went to Farm Day at the high school).
