Going Home

Monday, Chris, Tracy, Kevin and I got a rental car (which Enterprise later told Chris he returned it damaged - waiting to hear back about that) to Cincinnati for our return flight home. Along the way, we stopped and toured a church in Cincinnati that used a lot of the architectural features of Paris' Notre Dame. I had been to the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on my family trip in December and the cathedral had caught fire and burned only a month or so before the Derby losing its spire and most of its roof. While this cathedral in Cincinnati is a much smaller scale and not an exact replica, it was still great touring it.















And after touring the cathedral, we went to the casino where I lost more money.

Dropping the car off at the rental office at the airport was a hassle as we got lost and drove in circles for a bit (must have been when Chris damaged the rental car); but we did, amazingly, make it to our flight in time although Kevin and I got turned away at security because our tickets would not scan from our phones so we had to go all the way back to the check-in desk to get printed tickets.

We did eventually make it all the way back home safe and sound and ready for the next adventure. Stay tuned.

Kentucky Derby 145 Countdown Ticker

Planning for Kentucky Derby 145

I have booked my flight to the 145th Kentucky Derby! This will be the first time I have flown in and out of Cincinnati, but Mike and Maureen said it worked out well for them last year and would do it again. May will be here in only a few months and airfare will probably only go up. So far, Chris, Tracy, Kevin and Kelly have all said they are going back this year. Mike and Maureen had another trip so they could not make it this year. I have not heard from Cayla yet and I think Wes and TO are going to try it for their first times. I'm super excited about it. Hopefully, we will not repeat the worst rains in Kentucky Derby history again. See you all at the Derby!

NBC Sports Video of 144th Kentucky Derby 2018


NBC Sports posted their video of the 2018 144th Kentucky Derby when Justify raced to the win. I can't believe our group did not make it into the video. We were on the third turn, soaking wet in the torrential rain. Who's ready for 145!
