It's the journey not the destination...

It's the moments like these I cherish the most...6 hours trapped in an F-250 with my 17 year old daughter! Seriously, they are some of the most fun-loving, care free moments I have with her! 

Picture this...I'm driving this HUGE truck and hauling a goose neck trailer with a 1500 pound very expensive, very loved horse it in.  Meanwhile, as I am clutching the wheel, white knuckled that I may blow a tire, swerve into the seemingly endless array of concrete construction walls (is this our bailout money at work???), or worse, hit a pot hole and upset the equilibrium of the horse...I'm rocking out to the likes of Li'l Wayne, The Beach Boys (remember them?), The Black Eyed Peas, Ziggy Marley, David Bowie, Feist and Kanye West, accompanied by none other than the likes of Lady Gaga!  (A big thank you to Elizabeth Kane and William Bell for the awesome CD's!) Am I a "hip" mom, or what? Seriously, I'm having a BLAST!  I get to hang out with my kid and talk and sing at the top of my lungs...crazy, seriously crazy, lyrics!  When and where else can I do that???

As you can imagine, given the amazing fun we were having, the six hours passed very quickly! Kentucky is an absolutely gorgeous State and The Kentucky Horse Park is a beacon in the midst of a beautiful green sea of grass.  We quickly found the Region 3 stalls and were greeted by our wonderful Young Riders who arrived yesterday and today...hugs and laughter and lots of excitement!  

This is going to be a super week!
