Yesterday, we went to Louisville and visited the Churchill Downs Kentucky Derby Museum and got a tour of Chruchill Downs too. We got to stand in the winners circle where each of the winners from all the races-except the Kentucky Derby winner-goes when the race is official. This area is adjacent to the Finish Line. The Kentucky Derby winners circle is by the building here that says Derby 2010 to receive the roses. Both of these are directly in front of the twin spires here at Churchill Downs. We walked through the tunnel that the horses take to get to the track. It was a beautiful day-about 90. They start their fall meet on October 31 and we will probably go back on a day that they are racing there. It is about 85 miles away.
I will start 10 hour days this week. The park is filling up and will be full by November 1st. The next group starts next Sunday. Other than that, we just been touring the Walmart and Family Video-two of the best attractions in the area! Here are some of the pictures we took while at Churchill Downs. We haven't taken any pictures yet to show you the Walmart or Family Video, so you will just have to imagine it for yourselves. Take care.
Depending on how far you feel like traveling. You can always visit Nashville - 150 miles away from you. Of course we are just 180 miles away. Just wanted to remind you too of possibly going to the exotic animal auction with us November 12 - 110 miles away from you.
