York Racecourse

Took the scenic route to York and it took a little over two hours. A very cool drive with some beautiful views and cute towns. Of course, we chose this route as Taylor loves to take the scenic routes. Well, three of the four of us enjoyed the drive - one of us snored the whole way up, well after she started the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack. Once to York, we found our hotel, about a mile and half from the city center, just outside the walls (thank goodness, really don’t want to drive through there!). We were somewhat surprised how busy it seemed and after pointing out a very full Horse racing stand, to which KK told me I was lying, our hotel turned out to be right behind it. Needless to say, after parking the car and walking out the back of the hotel, I was able to get my photographic proof to take up to the room! 😝 As I was headed back up, Denise came down as she was worried something had happened (this won’t be the first time she comes looking for me today!). After showing her the racecourse, we tried to take a short cut back up to the hotel - where we preceded to photobomb a wedding in process, walking up through the trees and right into the vows! Ooops! Pretty sure we heard a couple of “Bloody Americans” as we ran away giggling like Brandon after telling a Yo Momma Joke! I think it’s time to get a move on and get into York proper (we’ve all been waiting to use the word proper, not sure why, but it seems like the English thing to say!).Read more
