As a part of Bobby's birthday present, I got him tickets to the horse races at Ascot, which is a famous track here in the UK. We used to go up to Saratoga with his grandmother and family and we had the best time, so we just had to check it out here too!The event we attended on that day was called the "King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes" for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds. Everyone was really dressed up for the races - big hats and fascinators everywhere and we even saw a guy in tails and a top hat! And although there was every different class in attendance, everyone had two things in common - drinking and gambling!
We grabbed some Pimms and lemonade (which we served at my bachelorette!), put a few pounds down on some horses with funny names and set out to our seats to watch the races. It was a beautiful day here in the UK - very rare! - and we got lucky on a few horses, but it was mostly just fun to sit outside and people watch in between! We'll be sure to attend again next summer!

Hi Dee! Looks like you guys had so much fun. Wish Bobby a belated Happy Birthday for me! I was at Saratoga this past weekend w/Brian & his family for the Travers - we go almost every year!
Hope all is well.
