J & D have attended each year of their lives; eM and I have attended almost every year since we've been together and I attended with friends many years before that. It's a fun event, great for people with or without families. This is one of the few remaining vestiges of my pre-fatherhood days when I still had disposable income. In fact, it might be the only surviving vestige.
Now the vibe at this race is a little different than the Virginia or International Gold Cups that DC folks are used to. It's more ancient country manor & LLBean vs. nouveau riche & fancy hats. Oh you can still find plenty of pompous but most folks are very friendly.
