The best part was the locale. The race took place over 3 1/2 miles in the VA countryside that was absolutely gorgeous. With the leaves and trees changing colors and temps in the 60s-70s, you couldn't have asked for a more pleasant place to spend a Saturday. Watching the horses race (0ver little fences and water, contrary to my original thought) took a backseat to people watching. Although, the Jack Russel Terriers that were racing were super cute and fairly enjoyable to see race, that is if you were quick enough to catch them: those little buggers run fast! I wasn't originally looking forward to it (I hate being cold and a day in the VA countryside seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to freeze!) but I ended up having a fabulous time! Also, in my head, this is what Londoners do on their weekends so, it's good practice : )

Course before horses
When I started to take this picture there were definitely Jack Russels in my shot. By the time I snapped, not so much.
Best picture my little rinky-dink camera could get
Would be such a pretty pic without the darn speaker!
Trying on funny hats is more amusing than it should be!
My final decision, can't wait for winter to actually wear it. By the time the sun came out, even I was roasting wearing it : )
