Saturday afternoon we decided to enjoy a beautiful day in Southern California and go to the Santa Anita Race Track. We live about 7 miles away and have never been before.
I think it is because in my mind all you think about a horse track is gambling. After a few friend told us what a great experience they had we decided to try it out for ourselves. There was definitely a lot more to do than gamble.
The other reason to visit was that I remember the Santa Anita Derby from " Sea Biscuit" and wanted to see it in person.
We really had a great time! The place is HUGE and the grounds are beautiful. Inside the track was a playground. Gretta loved the playground, the horses, and being able to run around with out any caring if she was loud or not.
It was interesting to see all kinds of people at the race track. Some people were dressed in their very best and others looked more casual. We had a great time and even might go again.
Aren't the San Gabriel Mountains beautiful! It was a gorgeous day.
