i know, i know...

i don't mean to go all super-polo on you this week - but i wanted to share some photos from this weekend. don't you love my gigantic sunglasses?? my footwear choice is my own, albeit unusual. i enjoy dry feet when trekking through 6" of mud - please don't judge! my daddy taught me to be sensible! oh! doesn't prince charming pull off the yellow-pants polo-look well? he does dress better than i do most days...

below is the super-amazing silent drill platoon from the 8th & i marine barracks on the hill (in our backyard!) these guys are amazing - you can catch their act here - i can never see it enough.
how cute is ashleigh with gunny? *ahem* i mean Gunnery Sergeant William J. Dixon - recently named Marine of the Year!

bring on the chukker.

is there anything more handsome than gorgeous men on polo ponies (prince charming calls them polop-onies) charging downfield on a sunny saturday afternoon? i think not.
if any other washingtoniennes are heading to america's polo cup tomorrow, look for prince charming & i at the ngs endurance tent. we'll be raising awareness & interest for no greater sacrifice (ngs), & it's running team, ngs endurance. ngs raises funds to pay for the educations of american children who lost a parent to combat - there's a staggering number of children who have lost a parent to this war, & shouldn't have to endure another hardship or worry about their future expenses in education.

if there are any runners (experienced or not!) out there who'd like to join the team - you don't have to live in dc to run! learn more here.

chukker.

i'm so looking forward to polo season. i always try to make it out to a few events each year - i'm thinking of trading in my hat (i can never compete with some of those fantastic creations), for an amazing headband from handlespout.com how cute with a little dress & kitten heels!

ps: any other washingtonians going to the america's cup of polo? i'll be there with no greater sacrifice, which is a non-profit raising funds to pay for the educations of children who lost a parent to combat. check us out!
