Our May was full of magical tea events that were practically perfect in every way. We hosted a Tuesday Afternoon Tea, Jane Austen inspired Sense and SensibiliTea, Mother’s Day, Jolly Holiday Mary Poppins Sing Along Tea Party, Breakfast at Tea-ffany’s, Under the Sea Tea Party, and our first Gazebo Concert.

Sense and SensibiliTea

Nothing quite compares to a house full of smiling faces and music - especially Disney music. We had so much fun with our Jolly Holiday Tea.

TRAVEL

Thurby, Oaks, and 150th Kentucky Derby

Kentucky Derby 150 did not disappoint! We did a nod to the year of the first Derby - 1875 - by going as Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr and his wife, Mary.

ML Clark had the dream and vision to build a horse racetrack on acreage owned by his uncles, John and Henry Churchill in 1874 . A year later, in May, he opened the track for its inaugural race day featuring several races on the card, with the Kentucky Derby not being the planned marquee race that day. However, when Aristides broke the world record for a three-year-old, for the mile-and-a-half distance, the “Derby” was all everyone wanted to talk about!

Our trip to the Derby this year was once again filled with reconnecting with friends, new and old, enjoying the atmosphere that can’t really be described to be truly appreciated - you have to be there. And, if you ever get the chance - just go.

The expansion and additions they have made from the last year are impressive and add to grandeur of Churchill Downs.
