We had a quiet Labor Day weekend this year. Both Jared and I spent Saturday working (him continuing to move forward on a number of his projects, and me orienting new college intern volunteers at work). And while I had Monday off to enjoy, Jared was back in the office.

The highlight of the weekend was a day trip to the Hamptons on Sunday. Every year since I was a child I've attended the Hampton Classic, in one form or another: as a spectator, a trainer, or part of a familial cheering section. It's a great tradition, and one of my favorite things to do at the end of summer. We left the city mid-morning on Sunday, and made it to Bridgehampton just at noon. We spent the early afternoon watching the $10,000 Hermes Hunter Classic and strolling through the boutiques. Unfortunately for us tickets to watch the Grand Prix were sold out, so we departed mid-afternoon. Starving, Jared turned to FourSquare and found a place for us to have a late lunch that promised good seafood and Bloody Mary's. We ended up at the Canal Cafe in Hampton Bays, which was scrumptious and filling, tiding us over for the 2+ hour ride back into Brooklyn.

A few Instagram snapshots of the fun day are below.
