Seersucker Social

For your viewing pleasure/amusement:
While normal people were watching USA v England in the World Cup…. Matt and I took part in the Seersucker Social at Hillwood Estate and Gardens on Saturday. (This being the summertime counterpart to the Tweed Ride). Dressed in our most elegant summer fashions, we met at the starting point in Meridian Hill Park, along with about 500 other dandy riders. We rode as a group through parts of the city and into Rock Creek Park, finally ending at Hillwood, where there were deee-licious Hendrick’s Gin & Cucumber Cocktails, dainty finger foods, and lawn games such as croquet and badminton awaiting us all. (ed. note – am I the only one who, all this time, thought that this “sport” was called badmitton?? who knew there was an ‘n’ in there? ). Anyways, it was quite a fun and hilarious event, and GREAT retro getups all around… but it was also extremely sticky HOT outside on Saturday and I was glad for my floppy-brimmed hat hiding all my sweaty hair.
