Jill's Journal: A major benefit to going to Saratoga during one of the 46 weeks of the year when it’s not the epicenter of racing is a quiet visit to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. The girls and I had the place almost to ourselves as we perused exhibit after exhibit. I, of course, loved the history and artifacts from years past while the girls had an absolute ball in a children’s room.
Erika particularly has always wanted to be a jockey, so she got a thrill out of trying on all the garb. Her sisters got a kick out of it too. They also practiced shoeing a horse, brushed up on their grooming skills, and played with horsey toys of all kinds. It was pretty much heaven for horse-loving little girls. They would have liked to stay a week.

Liz has always wanted to be a jockey too (as you probably remember). She was very envious of getting to wear the costume! =)
