I've been a bad blogger this weekend. Maybe it's because I was having too much fun, but I didn't take many pictures of the weekends festivities. The Kentucky Derby on Saturday, where the adventure getting to Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley (Cal Train -> Bart -> Shuttle to GGF) was about as much fun as the races themselves.
