Mike and I started a tradition about four or five years ago that every August, we make a trip down to Del Mar. The first two years it was just Mike and I (it was even a road trip the first time!), and it has gotten progressively bigger and bigger. This year there were 11 of us. Including Grammy Maher, who watched Ayla while we went to the races. We had so much fun. We broke even each day, thanks to Mike winning big races at the end.
Nakatani on the turf! Our favorite jockey, Corey Nakatani, always wins for us on the turf. They haven't been giving him such good horses lately, but he still places or shows. We be on him to Win Place or Show and he did! It's kind of a tradition (apparently we have lots of Del Mar traditions) that we take a pic with Corey and get his goggles. The ones in this picture that are on his head are mine now!
Out to dinner
The last day, Mom, Mike, Alix, Mike, Ayla and I all went to Seal World. It was fun and really hot! We all ended up getting sunburned that day.
All in all it was a great trip. A great way to end the summer. It was what may be Mike and my last time traveling before we have a baby. (Unless we go on the beach trip soon with Julie and Devin!) Luckily, mom said that next year she will come and watch both the babies while we go to the races! Yeah!!!!
