New Year's Eve at the Santa Anita Races

My first trip to the horse races was the day after my college graduation. 
I found a comfortable couch and fell asleep. 
It is safe to say that this trip to the races was my actual first time. 
I wasn't too keen on going until my mom convinced me by telling me she just picks horses by their names. It sounded very Gilmore Girls to me. I was in.
 The building is beyond gorgeous!
 The perfect California day in December.
 Cruella Deville's cousin?

 The parentals.
 Me & Jordan
Jordan played rationally...I just looked at the names. We made a good team. 

I had a lot of fun, but it is safe to say that my brother had the most. 
He won $800 on a long shot. 
He treated the whole family to dinner. 
It was the first year we all rung in the new year as adults together. 
Quite a wonderful day & evening.

Next time I go to the races (and there will be a next time) I am dressing up. Big hat and all.
