Saratoga Springs, NY

Jill's Journal: The drive from Maine to upstate New York is a long one, made much longer when you’re pulling a trailer and have three children…but certainly eased by the beautiful, beautiful scenery. New Hampshire and Vermont are absolutely stunning. From our simple drive through, the northern parts of those states appear rugged and gorgeous. And southern Vermont is like a fairytale with its perfect little villages nestled in valleys. We simply cannot wait to come back.

Our new address for only a day or two (as the one campground open here turns out to be most unappealing and has already turned off its water too!) is just outside Saratoga Springs, which just so happens to be a spot I’ve been wanting to visit for all my horse racing life. How convenient…

After we were settled in and the girls were in bed, Rob made a quick run to the corner store. He said it feels more like home here than any of the places we’d been for the past four months, which of course gave me great puzzlement. But he quickly explained the first person he saw when he walked in the door was a gentleman in a West Point Thoroughbreds cap and a Coolmore (international racing/breeding organization) jacket. A little feel of Kentucky right here in New York!
