POCOPSON: Day at the races

We went to the Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point on Easter Sunday and had a really nice time being outside in the sun (mostly) at the lovely Brandywine Red Clay Alliance. As far as tailgating goes, frankly we were a little rusty: we remembered the food, bowls and cutlery but forgot the folding chairs.
Some of the races went down to the wire; others involved a substantial margin of victory. As always we enjoyed watching the photographers at work, and we were amused every time the race announcer declared the horses were "headed out to the country" -- right, as if they were leaving an urban center. 
Mostly we just hung out with our friends who had a great parking spot right on the finish line, so we didn't do a lot of wandering around and socializing. One fellow stopped by our spot with his adorable eight-month-old "Pomski" (a Pomeranian/Husky mix) named Havoc.
