Anyone who knows anything about the Derby knows that it’s all about the horse racing HATS!

So without further adieu here’s a number of the hats I saw at the Derby.

Let me know if you like the post in the comments, because I have waaaay more hat pictures I can post if you want!

You know you’re in Kentucky for the Derby when you step off the plane in the Louisville airport and get handed Bourbon Balls!

Wow, I can’t believe that I already leave for the Kentucky Derby tomorrow! There are a few things that are iconic to the Derby; The Hot Brown, a sandwich made at The Brown where we’ll be staying, the hats, and Mint Juleps of course!

We’re all going to be at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday!!

How exciting, right?!
