A Day at the Races

Gulfstream Park

In the category of "never been" was a day at the racetrack.  Friends Terri and Fred had never been either so yesterday we decided to make a day of it at the Gulfstream Racetrack in Hallandale Beach, just a few miles from home.  I pocketed $15.40 on the very first $2 bet - on Collymore Place to win in the 3rd race. But after that, bubkus.  Still, it was exciting and fun and you move around a lot between races, checking the horses, wandering around the casino and restaurants, and especially people watching. 

After the racetrack I suggested we stop by the Yellow Green Market since it had extended December hours.  This was the highlight of the day.  Fred and Terri loved the Cuban decafs and the bread and pastry vendor and the selection of Twizzlers in tons of flavors. We promised to go back there as often as possible.

Cross this one off the "bucket list"!
