Was one great day at the race track

Today after some conversations about who would be meeting were, we finally got it all figured out. One car was full and another was filling up fast. All of us had a ride and were on our way.

Today was red hat day at the Cloverdale raceway. Our group got there about post time. We went into the building and checked out the crafts that were in the main entrance. Allot of knitting and sewing projects there. There was one woodworking person there. He took driftwood and shined up the wood and then made candle holders out of them. Very nice. It intrigued me a bit. Something else I might be able to do someday.

After that we headed in to find our table. Right up by the window so we can watch the action of a race or two.. Two of the ladies went over to the casino to do a little betting before it was time to eat. Sounds like they were up money before they came back to the table.

The meal was just grand. There was food galour and all different kinds for every pallat. The line up was long but well worth it. It was a breakfast menu to start with and then when you came back for seconds the meal was totally different. The desert you got two of when you were finished. Plus any drinks you were interested in. Totally pigged out on that meal.

As we sat at the table I took a minute to stand up and take a look around the room. There was red hats everywhere. It was just like a wave of red hats and purple clothing. Allot of bling to top it all off. It was an amazing sight to see..

After the meal was over there was a chance to use a complimentary coupon to make a bet or two. Some of the ladies used them and won at betting on the horses. Others not so lucky. I just sat back and watched the horses run. Some of the ladies went over to the casino again to play the slots. It sounds like they may have been up a little by the to we left. So was a productive day for some.

I shot a few pictures of the time we had together. Are posted at the side here on my blog.

Then it was time to head for home again. Through the rainy day back to the car and home. Was a great day to be had by all. Can't wait for next time out with the ladies. I am having a great time going places I have never been before. Lost of conversation and good times with some great ladies.
