Oaks

John and I get the extreme pleasure of going to Oaks this year. We could not be more excited!!! To make it more exciting our seats are in Millionaire’s row. Which means we are on the 6th floor right on the finish line. If there are stars there, we will see them! The area we will be in has tables inside and bleacher like seats outside. So no matter the weather we will have fun. The area also has it’s own betting windows, bar, buffet and bathrooms. The Oaks is the second biggest day at Churchill downs and having our own bathrooms will be very nice. We are going with Mitch and Alison, Marci, Terry and Heather, and Matt is flying in for the occasion. So the 8 of us will all be seated at table #9 in Millionaire’s row. Hopefully it brings us some luck. Avery will be in school and Cami will be home with John’s brother Alex. G&PP will get into town about 3:00 and will pick Av up from school. I got a new dress and hat. The dress is strapless and a-line. It is cream, taupe and yellowish/goldish. I decided to buy a plain cream hat and dress it up myself. I glued a taupe ribbon around it and then glued a goldish color flower and feathers on it. On the tacky scale it is only about a 5. Tacky hats are huge at the Derby but I could only go so far. On Friday everyone is meeting at our house around 10:00am and we are going to kick off the party with bloody marys and mimosas. I am sooooooooooooooooo excited.
