TRAVEL

Kentucky Derby Musuem - See and Be Seen 150 Years of Derby Fashion

We still can’t get enough of Derby 150 and in July we had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of the See and Be Seen 150 Years of Derby Fashion at the Kentucky Derby Museum! It features 32 full ensembles including true vintage pieces starting from the 1860s. You might also see our outfits from Derby 149. If you are a fashionista of any kind, you will love seeing these Derby fashion through the years!

Bombers Baseball Game - Huntingburg, IN.

A Saturday baseball getaway to lovely Huntingburg, IN! Another of southern Indiana’s great small towns! We got to meet up with our friend Susan, who made us feel like family, and set up lunch for us to meet Huntingburg mayor, Neil Elkins, and his lovely wife, Susan!

After a little shopping at our favorite store in town, The Emporium (I may have picked up a lovely vintage 1960s pink rain coat and a vintage white wicker purse), we did a quick fashion change and headed for League Stadium!

For those not familiar, League Stadium is so-named because it is where director Penny Marshall chose to film several scenes from her movie, A League of Their Own (1992), starring Tim Hanks and Geena Davis. It is one of our favorite summertime movies!!

I have been wanting to bust out my Peaches uniform since I bought it during our visit to League Stadium last July. So, I did a little nod to the Geena Davis character, Dottie Hinson, and Jeff pulled off a darn good coach Jimmy Dugan, the Tom Hanks character in the movie. We had SO much fun!! Wow!!

The reason we wanted to go in character was that they were having a League of Their Own night at the ballpark, with a matchup between the Rockford Peaches and the Racine Belles! Racine won in a bit of a suspicious manner, but it was great fun! Following that game, The Dubois County Bombers battled the Full Count Rhythm (TN) in an exciting contest, with the Bombers coming up a little short - still, great baseball! The Bombers and Rhythm both play in the Prospect League, which features 18 teams across the Midwest. These teams feature top college players who are vying to be potential prospects for the big leagues.

If you are a fan of baseball OR the movie, and have never seen a game at this great stadium, you really need to put it on your bucket list! The atmosphere at the park is awesome!
