What I learned at the Kentucky Derby:


1. bring cash ($40.00 to get into the infield)

2. The bigger the hat, the better ( I didn't wear one - maybe next year?!)

3. I don't like mint juleps (I could only take 6 sips)

4. Wager on the horse with the best odds ( I won $17.00 on the winning horse!)
"$5.00 win on #20"

5. The infield was full of drunk people (and I went to Michigan State where I am used to seeing this, but I was still surprise at what I saw)

6. Be careful of broken glass
7. Bring antibacterial hand wipes

You went to the kentucky Derby????What are the Mint Juleps like? Are they thick and very sweet? or just plain gross?

I don't like whiskey... so the first underlying taste was the whiskey, but then it was sweet and minty (kind of like a mojito, which I love)

I've noticed that the Mojito in a can tastes better than the bottled kind. A homemade one tastes even better!

I wish you would have told me about the derby. You know I have plenty Sunday go meeting hats. I could have lent you one!
