This past weekend I went out to Governor's Island for the annual Jazz Age Lawn Party. It's a day of 20s-style fun with a jazz band, a dance floor, cocktails and picnicking. Almost everyone dresses up, and walking around the island's old homes and military buildings feels like stepping into a time machine. They even have a pie baking contest, which I fully plan to enter next year. Hope your weekend was jazzy too :)
