We live in Saratoga Springs, 3 minutes from downtown and 6 blocks from the Saratoga Race Course. It is a beautifull city, with all the older buildings(they have walking tours to show off the older ones). In the summer the city DPW has an extensive flower program that makes the city come alive, it is beautifull.
Once the summer season starts it does get crowded in our city, but we welcome all of our visiting friends from around the world.
There is all kinds of activities to do here. We have of course the Saratoga Race Course, The Saratoga Raceway Racino (Harness racing and vidio slots), the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (concerts, ballet), the National Museum of Dance, the Horse Racing Museum, the Military Museum and the Harness Racing Musuem. In congress Park we have a carosel for kids and the childerns musuem is just a block or so away. There is much more to do, but I will stop here for sake of size.
If you are into the night life scene downtown has numerous taverns and bars to fill any taste.
So if your arelooking for a vaction spot in the notheast, then Saratoga is a great plce to visit. I hope to see you all at SS resort in Fla and Saratoga Springs, NY.
DF and I are going the SS resort in June of 2005 for 3 weeks, we can not wait to see it in person. By the pictures it seems awsome.
