The Day After Derby was a nice, laid-back day for us. We met Travis and Stephanie for brunch and traded Derby stories like Cayla and Kelly walking out of Churchill Downs in the crowd and the rain, soaking wet with their purses and shoes over their shoulders in garbage bags and walking right beside beautiful and pristine Julie (my favorite) who had obviously been in covered seating the entire day. Tracy loved telling the story about walking Chris and me through the tunnel under the track into the infield with everyone screaming at us, our phones were dead and getting kicked out of the Churchill Downs Store because we were still drinking (Chris and I do not recall and question the authenticity of her story). The rest of Sunday was spent at the Kentucky Derby Museum, downtown Louisville and dinner at Captain's Quarters Riverside Grille.

In front of the Kentucky Derby Museum, we were privy to a marriage proposal. Kelly videoed it. It was very heart-warming until we all thought about it later at how she said 'yes' but did not kiss him and did not seem completely ready. We wish them luck, but we think she rescinded the acceptance the following day.

The museum is well worth a visit and it has a store with all the latest Kentucky Derby merchandise (Chris and I did not get kicked out of this one). Tracy was relieved/amazed.

Go to the museum the day after the next time you go to Derby. You will enjoy the history, the memorabilia and the move. Yes, watch the movie. It will bring tears to your eyes if you love Derby.
