The Kentucky Derby is today and there's more buzz about the hats and mint juleps than anything else! I'll be in Louisville in just 5 days - bad timing on my part! It would've been exciting to see the Derby for all of 120 seconds and maybe even wear one of those pretty fascinators. I would've skipped the mint julep, I'm not a fan. But if you are, I just came across this article on cnn.com with 5 cocktail recipes: 5@5: Mint Juleps 5 Ways.
I was more interested in this article - about the hats - and now think I'll visit the Kentucky Derby Museum to see the displays on derby hats of the past.
Louisville is becoming quite a destination. I can't wait to experience it, then come home and probably want to plan my next trip back!
