Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know โ€œpip pipโ€ mimics the double honk on an early 20th century motorcar? It's an upperclass British colloquialism for farewell. ๐ŸŽฉ I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans!
This bit never gets old! This bit never gets old!
Guess what?!! My Zebra article is out! Iโ€™m so ex Guess what?!! My Zebra article is out! Iโ€™m so excited ๐Ÿ˜†. 

Beyond Camelot: The Life and Legacy of Jackie O starts on page 18! You can pick up print copies around town!!!

Monte Durham donated his entire Jackie collection to The First Ladies Library and we were there for the opening โ€” all in Burberry! 

Links in bio for the article, the print edition, and some more Jackie stories.

well done @milesdejiles ๐Ÿ˜˜
Went to Barca last night. The staff couldnโ€™t hav Went to Barca last night. The staff couldnโ€™t have been nicer! We had a great time. 

Itโ€™s a small plate concept. We shared everything. But some favorites emerged. Miles really liked the BEEF TENDERLOIN with tomatoes, red wine, shallots, garlic, & jalapeรฑos. And by far my fav was the JAMร“N SERRANO CROQUETAS with manchego & aleppo-orange honey. On my list to try next time are the STUFFED DATES with blue cheese, jamรณn serrano, & olive oil โ€” they sound delish! 

Itโ€™s packed most of the time. But Tuesday around 4 oโ€™clock we were seated straight away. It was pretty full by the time we left. We were conscious not to linger. But they never made us feel rushed. And they were super welcoming to the furry princess! 

Have ya been? Will ya go? Let us know! And follow us for more in Old Town.๐Ÿโš“๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Weโ€™ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is Weโ€™ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is by far the best to go out dining with! Itโ€™s got a really small footprint without sacrificing space for the furry princess. And it was by for the easiest one to put together โ€” it came folded like an umbrella and we just popped on wheels. 

Link to it on our blog. And you can link to that in our bio.

We had a leisurely lunch at Chart House, toasting Miles! Sipped a nice pale pink rosรฉ in the shade and people watched in between courses. Limited menu compared to the olden days. But it was tasty. 

I love you so much @milesdejiles โ€” thanks for sharing your day with us! ๐Ÿ˜˜
