Off to the Races!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!    Celebrating holidays has always been a fan of mine.  I love to hear how other people celebrate the fun.  Mine this year was filled with sombreros, good food, and best friends  Hope yours was also a blast!

What an eventful weekend this was.  Did you know that Charlotte hosts a Chihuahua race every Cinco de Mayo weekend?  I still am amazed by all of the things that go on in Charlotte that I haven't experienced.  It's now my goal to do everything this city has to offer! 

Last year, we missed it but we were sure to make it this year. It took place in the middle of the EpiCentre and was an all-day event.  There were dogs, sombreros, and margaritas everywhere!

My sister decided to enter her dog, Graham, into the races, and boy did he do well!  No one expected him to do very well (it was loud and crowded--easy conditions to distract dogs), but he ended up coming in 3rd place!

If you have never had a chance to experience a taste of Charlotte and it's culture, you definitely should!
