Virginia Gold Cup

It is hard to believe that in my 20+ years as a South Carolina resident I never made it to the infamous Carolina Cup. I've always wanted to go, so when I had the opportunity to go to the Virginia Gold Cup I was excited.






Saturday morning, Mary, Carter, and I drove out to The Plains, VA to spend the day with some of Carter's friends.

We could not have asked for prettier weather or a better view of the field. Most people who go to Carolina Cup joke about actually seeing a horse while they are there. Between the two tailgate spots, we had views of both the starting and finish lines and watched most of the races. 

It really was the perfect way to spend a beautiful Saturday.
