@alliegoneaway: 🐎 A girl’s trip up to the Charles Town Races in West Virginia (1.5 hrs by car from Washington, DC)! The tldr: Kentucky Derby vibes but way closer to home. 10/10 experience. There’s racing year-round with events most weekend nights! 💛 Thank you @Hollywood Casino Charles Town for having me! #ctclassic #charlestownraces #dcdaytrip #horseracing #hosted Washington, DC day trips Fun things to do near DC Pittsburgh weekend trip Girl’s trip ideas First time horse racing
