kentucky derby love
last year mr. monaco and i drove to greenville, south carolina to celebrate the kentucky derby with friends. we fell even more in love with the traditions of the event and enjoyed a beautiful 75 degree day of mint juleps, big hats, yard games, dancing, and a bonfire {oh and a horse race!} unfortunately, mr. monaco and i are both traveling this weekend and can’t make it… but are looking forward to more gatherings in future years. for those of you who plan to attend the event or a fun party, here is an inspiration board i created:
