So we headed off for our long journey to Vandergrift PA this morning for our stop over at Colleen's Parents. Since we were heading right by Louisville KY I thought a short stop over to see Churchill Downs would be fun. I always enjoy watching the Kentucky Derby each year and always wanted to see what the beautiful track looked like. Now I am sure others like me expected the track would be in this beautiful Plantation type setting with Horse Pastures all around. Well at least that is what I was expecting. NOT THE CASE!!! It is actually in the middle of Louisville which is a pretty large town with Louisville University right there also. The track is actually in an area that I would fill uncomfortable walking around at night. So if anything I can say this trip is putting reality to what I think reality is. Well after our short drive by the track since they had a race going on today they were charging for parking so we did a quick drive by a pictures out the window. We then finish our 7 hour drive to Vandergrift and arrive safely at Colleen's Parents. Colleen's Mom had triple by-pass surgery 2 weeks ago so Colleen was happy to see her and she is doing quite well. We will be here 3 or 4 days before heading off to Colleen's brother's in Connecticut. Later!!!
