arlington heights horse race

saturday september 11

i was invited to the horse races on saturday to watch the kids. the atmosphere of a horse race, and arlington park are exactly what i expected it to be.

fancy shmancy.

rich people.

betting and drinking.

high class.

i wish i would have been in a better state of mind to enjoy it. we were sitting in the governors box. for real. there was even a silent auction going on while we were there. the ongoing buffet of food was incredible.

as i sat on the terrace i couldnt help but imagine sitting in general admission, where normal people sit, with my family. josh and i have dreamed of dressing up and going to the races. it was all i could do to hold my emotions in that day. at one point i found myself sitting around a corner where no one could see me and crying. thus the lack of cool pictures, or any with me in them.

despite the fact that i was an emotional wreck, there is no denying that arlington park is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
