| | This past weekend was the 133th Kentucky Derby down in good 'ol Louisville. Six girls RVed down to join about 150 GSBers to party it up. I had never been in an RV and had no idea what to expect and had heard about the craziness that ensues at Derby but was not mentally prepared for how dirty I was about to feel at the end of it. The RV was a lot more spacious than it looks from the outside -- comfortably sleeps six people, there's a fridge, freezer, microwave, dining table, couch, bed, bathroom, shower.
I mean there's not much else to ask for really -- very compact and has everything. Now when you mix this mobile home with a mud lot full of drunk people, it gets quite dirty quickly and starts feeling a lot smaller than you initially thought. Derby was fun but I don't think I'll ever do it again -- I enjoy showering regularly especially when I'm mixing with mud and hanging out on a lawn chair in sun all day. Also, I feel like the core of what Derby really is (drinking, grilling, hanging out) could really be captured anywhere, even in the Summer Garden. So next time, we should just rent RVs and line them up in the Summer Garden and just chill out there all day. Also, not sure if I'll be renting an RV anytime soon. It might be an option when I have kids and we want to go on a wacky vacation to Florida or something but that might still be a long shot. All in all, I can check off the "Go to Derby" box on my list and be happy that I didn't write it on there twice. Check out all the fun and wacky pics here!
