Rolex Recap Part 1

This entry is a bit late, but I'll recap anyway.


DAY 1: Road trip was uneventful, just a bunch of McNuggets and bathroom stops because my Aunt Ellen and I have world's smallest bladders. We got to the hotel, (which was next door to a Hollywood Hustler, which I'll touch on later) unloaded our stuff and left for the park. We went straight to the stands to watch everyone warm up, mostly only watching Buck Davidson and Matthew Brown. Liz spent the time trying to get selfies with Buck each time he passed (and we're pretty sure he was intentionally coming closer to us each time) when all of the sudden, MATTHEW BROWN RODE UP TO US, AND GAVE US A MINT TO GIVE TO SUPER SOCKS. OH. MY. GOD. Not only was this fantastic, but he came up to us, and let us feed Super Socks more mints. I think I cried mentally. We got back to the hotel, and waited on Ellen's friends Ell and Sue to check in. Afterwards, we messed around in the pool and the workout room until the Chinese food we ordered was delivered. Nothing else exciting happened.

Big pats

My shirt said "Eat Shirt" and Liz's said "I <3 My Church". We got some weird looks.

This was taken at a bathroom. I kid you not.

Day 2: Yay, Dressage! I've got to be honest, I rarely watch all of Dressage. We watched Lainey, Lauren, Matthew, etc. Anyway, the highlight of the day was Liz standing in line for an hour and a half to meet Michael Jung. It happened, of course, but the Horseware of Ireland lady was super rude so I'm not even going to touch on that. Side note, my mom's friend is a sponsor of Rolex, but he never actually goes, so he gives us his Sponsor tickets, so we all get to be special for three days. We went out to eat at a really cool horse place, blah blah blah, we let Sue drive home, which was an awful idea,

I'll finish this later. My anxiety just kicked in.

Cheers.
