So, I turn on my computer and am checking some of the sites I check daily and decided to check the weather forecast for the Albany area as I decided after I did my antique shopping I would head to the local track to watch and wager on Saratoga. Well, the weather forecast looked great for the next couple of days. Next thing I know I am doing laundry, packing my bags and headed to Saratoga!

....

Lastly, I am so happy that when I called my Grandmother and asked her if she would be willing and able to leave for a few days to go to Saratoga, a place she has wanted to see for years, she said yes. Time spent with family amongst fine folks like everyone who made this trip a trip to remember!
PRICELESS!!! I am officially jealous beyond belief

Curt,

What a terrific recounting of your trip... Was great to finally meet you after 'knowing' you for 7 years. Glad the visit was everything you expected.
