FH and I just came to the realization that the day after our wedding (June 11) is Belmont Stakes Day! We had originally planned on doing a 'beach day' with all our oot guests complete with BBQ--very low key, but since FH traditionally 'does' Belmont, we were thinking of changing our post wedding weekend activities. If you were from out of town (MA, IN, OH--no real 'beachy' areas) , which would you appreciate more--a day at the races or a day in the sun?

Beach. Belmont on stakes day is a madhouse.
Our wedding date was strategicaly planned around the triple crown races. FH can go to the kentucky derby for his bachelor party, and I won't be known as the witch who ruined the preakness trip!

I voted for Belmont, but I think you should ask your guests what they would rather do.

stick to the beach - Belmont Stakes is SOOOOO out of control, you'll have much more fun at the beach.
Bring a radio and you can still listen to the race!

stakes day is out of control, a lot of fun, but not for everyone.

Beach BBQ is universally fun IMO... Belmont would not be fun for me.

I read an article somewhere (I think in the NYTimes) that all alcohol would be banned from the Belmont backyard this year. Might want to check that out if you are thinking of Belmont - it would definitely change the experience.
