The treehouse was definitely fun and adventurous, but man what a pain for those of us with TTBS (Teeny-tiny bladder syndrome). LOL!Wow, that treehouse looks amazing! You did a great job of finding unusual places way beyond the usual touristy areas, it seems!
I find it amusing you commented on the Kentucky Derby. I actually ended up watching this year, which is unusual for me. Backstory - DMIL passed away in December, and one of her favorite places was Las Vegas, and she loved the Kentucky Derby. DFIL arranged to have her ashes scattered at a cemetery in Las Vegas this past Monday, and also reserved a couple tables at a sportsbook on Saturday so family could get together to watch the race. I actually did bet on the horse that came in second! (Like $5, so not like I would've made much even if he'd won, lol). That's the most travel I've done recently, other than a short business trip to Texarkana of all places.
You actually watched it?!! And what a story! I think it's neat you've found meaning and memory in it. I thought that prize money was actually awarded to both 1st and 2nd with a lower payout going to 2nd of course. Maybe I am completely wrong too, though, as I know very little about horse wagering. ? But wow, Sierra Leone's odds were crazy and what a payout it'd have been!! Something like 49:1 at race time. WOWZA!!
