Churchill Downs

We had a Thanksgiving adventure in Louisville and Cincinnati. First stop: BBQ. Then Churchill Downs for some races.

We were there on Thanksgiving, which we've heard is a very big day for them, but since we were there first thing in the morning (when the big name horses don't run), it was pretty quiet, which was great for us. The kid liked the races and seeing the horses parade around.

We had a Thanksgiving buffet at an old Louisville hotel. In addition to regular Thanksgiving food, there was tons of seafood, which was great. Oddly, no pies--although there were a million different desserts, which sent the kid into fits of ecstasy.

We stayed in a great Airbnb, which the kid pronounces, "Airbambee," in the Highlands, a nice neighborhood with a nice coffee shop. The coffee shop was loaded with space toys, which made Chester's day.
