The Belmont Stakes.

Jeff and I spent a day at the races! The Belmont Stakes to be exact. It was our first horse race and it did not disappoint. It was so exciting to see such beautiful horses race around the track at full speed. I had very little knowledge regarding the races but luckily we sat by a fanatic who explained everything. It was such a fun day. I can't wait to go to another race. I'd love to see the Kentucky Derby one day and wear a fabulous hat. 

It was a packed house. They estimated 90,000 people would be there!

I couldn't believe how tiny the jockeys are.
So many great outfits and hats.
And then there were some interesting ones...

We were so close to the big race. They took off right in front of us.
