this weekend: head of the charles regatta

if you're a lover of all things preppy (like this girl), the sport of rowing, or are looking for an excuse to get outside and experience the beautiful fall weather that's finally returned, this weekend is the perfect event for you. every year the head of the charles regatta brings together the best rowers from all over the world to compete in the world's largest two day rowing event. head over to cambridge, watch along the banks of the charles, or (if you get there early enough) head to one of the bridges to be up close and personal with the race. even if rowing isn't your thing, many preppy vendor/designers/stores set up shop along the river offering samples, info and great deals on all sorts of things. the races start at 8 am, and go until 5pm, today and tomorrow. the biggest races are the championship and lightweight contests, which are the last races of the day. if you have kids in tow, today is a great day for the little ones, and the earlier the better (the crowds can get pretty crazy). i'm pretty bummed that I'll be missing this year (and my last year living here for it!), but alas working & family come first. for more info, specifics, and such- check here.

have you ever
