A Chilly Steeplechase

Saturday, May 8 was the fun day of Steeplechase! DJM and I had just gotten back from our cruise, when we hopped right back in the car and heading to Nashville. After a day of preparing food, drinks, packing bags, and driving to Nashville, we were once again ready to spend the day outside with lots of cold beverages....now our livers are on strike! We began the day with breakfast cocktails, yummy bagels, sausage balls, and fruit. The wind was so cold that we could barely move. Every girl was covered with chill bumps, our hats weren't cooperating, and we all had on sweaters. Once day broke, it warmed up but never got hot....it was such a nice day! With all the flooding in Nashville, we were sure the grounds would be covered with mud like last year but surprisingly it looked as if it hadn't rained. My heart goes out to Nashville, I hope it recovers very quickly.

I must say, our little spots were pretty loaded with food, and well let's be honest...and a pretty good drink selection. I had a little nap around 11, but then I was right back to it! Minus the corn hole, the races, and sitting in the sun, it is meant to be a day of drinking. It seems like a pretty good idea until the end of the day when you are so tired. However, once getting back to The Kidd's, we changed into warm clothes and loaded up for some pizza and hockey!

I am already looking forward to Steeplechase 2011! It will be packed with much more fun!
