Is there anything better than soaking in a hot mineral bath, alone, with your kids nowhere in sight or earshot? No errands, chores, electronics, obligations for 30 minutes and your only concern is whether to heat up the effervescent spring water in your tub. Guess why I book a bath (alone) at the Roosevelt Baths and Spa in Saratoga Springs during my visits?

Saratoga Springs: Hotels

For location, amenities, price and service, the Holiday Inn Saratoga Springs is my current favorite. After suffering slow traffic last year, I booked the Holiday Inn with hopes of only needing our car to drive to SPAC.
Saratoga Springs: Great Food

For such a small town, Saratoga hosts an impressive number of locally owned restaurants, coffee shops and other eateries. There is a flavor, price point and atmosphere for whatever the family is hankerin’ for.
Saratoga Springs: Saratoga Perfoming Arts Center (SPAC)

The real treat at SPAC is enjoying world class performances rather than the watered down, silly-ed up versions that are usually available to kids or the annual we’ll let kids come because these performances are a cash cow, Nutcracker.
Saratoga Springs: Farmers Market
July 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Destinations
The taste from the local producer only vendors is the real treat. The Hudson Valley is filled with a growing number of small farms committed to sustainable and heirloom agriculture. The result is some of the tastiest food in the nation (in the opinion of this farmers market shopping, food snob loving, Northern California expatriate.)
Check the great stories (including mine) in the fall issue.
