down at the track

good morning!

spent the morning down at the racetrack! we went to watch 2 year old thoroughbreds run/workout for a big annual sale, where they have young horses in training and eventually they will be ready to race. so cute! its amazing how fast and strong they are at such a young age! we watched somewhere around 50-75 horses run 1/8th of a mile down the stretch! the horses have all been sold now, so i can't wait to see how they do in the future!

afterwards, we got really hungry from all the observing haha... so we went to lunch and ate some delicious seafood!

enjoy your day!

Thanksgiving Vacation

Happy Friday everyone! Since i didn't have a post yesterday because of Thanksgiving, I thought I would share some pics from my 2 day vacay! My family and I went up to northern California, to one of my favorite cities ever! I have a horse named Capri, that it out at pasture so we visited her. The pictures I posted are from the barn. After, we went exploring for some Scandinavian desserts, which, I really look forward to! We went to one of our good friend's restaurant for our thanksgiving dinner. It was so delicious! The first course was a farm fresh apple salad with a lemon vinaigrette. The second course was the turkey of course! On the plate it had lightly whipped mashed potatoes and some grilled squash and zucchini. The dessert course was a choice of pumpkin cheesecake or a chocolate mousse, I chose the mousse because thats one of my favorites! I'm working on some recipes to post within the next couple of days so keep checking back for a new one!
