Tampa Downs and our new Great-Niece....Ella

We'd often wondered about Tampa Downs...a horse track in Tampa so when some friends suggested it we were anxious to check it out. I found a Groupon, naturally, and off we went.

We got valet parking, covered finish line seating, programs and we each got a $5 food voucher, and a $2 bet....it was an amazing deal. The track reminded us of a track we used to go to in Lexington, KY...Keeneland....and we had a blast. The weather was perfect....we really enjoyed the day....all 11 races. Nope, didn't win anything, but we had a fun.


In this pic they have the starting gate on the turf track...


As they cross the finish line.......

They would run the dirt track and the grass turf....it was justa great day.
After the races we headed back towards home and ate at a new BBQ place close to home. It was wonderful, I'm sure we'll be back.

BUT....the most important part about today is we got another great-niece....
Meet Ella McKinnon Stevens....she was perfect...and it was a great day for everyone..


Just a few days after this Saturday outing I made a trip to ATL for business and many other things, and I went to meet our newest angel.....she was a sweetie.


It was your usual busy trip...work, other appts, family, friends but a great visit.
Was good to get back home, as always.....next adventure an RCCL cruise on Oasis of the Seas...I've been waiting on this!!!
