My daughter Dani and her husband, Erik, have a new house. They moved from Connecticut to Saratoga Springs, New York and bought a sweet little house there. While I was on Jury Duty in January, Stacey went there to help them move in. Now it was my turn to see the house so we drove up for a couple of days.
They're actually outside of Saratoga in a town called Clifton Park. Saratoga is so very chichi and, thus, house prices are much higher there. Folks of more moderate incomes tend to live a bit removed from that famous old watering hole of the very well-to-do.
Dani has done a very quick and lovely decorating job (she takes after her mom in that respect) and I was quite impressed.
Dani and Erik's new house -- with me in it.
We hung out for a while at home and then drove the few miles to Saratoga for a walk and a shop. Then the kids took us out for dinner at a lovely restaurant on Broadway, Wheat Fields, specializing in home-made pastas.

Here's Dani and Erik's new house!
And here's Dani and Erik. And Brooklyn (left) and Annapolis (right).
The next day we enjoyed bagels, lox and whitefish salad (brought from Brooklyn, of course) and then walked a bit down their road to a pretty park and ball field. We headed into the snow-covered field and the dogs and the people cavorted. Besides cavorting we also threw snowballs at each other. Fun.

Having snow fun.
That afternoon we drove back to the city. Saratoga was a nice place to visit and we'll be back many times after this. Nicer still was seeing Dani and Erik and their new house.
