Camden is about an hour and 45 minutes away from Charlotte, where Ian and I live. We packed ourselves up in the car along with some beer, a bottle of champagne, and a lot of water and made our way to the track (just for the record: I drove, so I had a mimosa when we arrived but then just drank peach-flavored sparkling water with a splash of OJ in it for the rest of the day -- in a champagne glass, of course!). We took all backroads to Camden and drove through some of the most adorable towns you've seen. Once we got to the races and purchased our tickets, we made our way into the infield, where my family has a spot. We had the BEST time.
Above: Me along with Laura and Mom. I wore a J.Crew eyelet top (thanks Laura!), Lilly pants, and gold and brown platform shoes.
The studs we love.
Ian and I ... can you tell it was very windy on Saturday?
My precious dad and mom.
See?! I saw horses!

We made our way over to College Park, where fraternities bus down huge groups for a day of absolute debauchery.
First thing we saw was someone getting arrested. About 15 minutes later we witnessed another boy being handcuffed and leaving (sobbing) on the back of the cop's golf cart. It wasn't a fun day for everyone. :)
Mom and Dad found the USC KA tent that was blasting music and did a little shagging.
Mom, Laura and myself before Ian and I hit the road again for Charlotte.
We had the BEST DAY and can't wait again for Carolina Cup 2012!
That looks like SO much fun! Love the outfits! (A Lilly just opened less than a mile from me.. I am in trouble!) But most of all, the weather loooks a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! :)
