Polo with the Prince

Besides being a bit homesick, the other reason I came home this weekend was to go with Sheila to see Prince William play polo in Santa Barbara. Sheila and I have been going to the polo matches in Carpenteria for years and I was not going to miss the chance to see Prince Willie. And although the tix were a bit pricy, we def got our moneys worth at the bar :).


Heading out to the polo game in our big hats!




On the shuttle bus over to the playing filed

We had to line up and have our bags sniffed by a K-9 puppy to ensure we did not try to sneak anything illegal or hazardous in, we are such rif raf.

First drink, of many, at the bar - Bloody Mary! It was my 11am brunch cocktail.

Scotch, Scotch, Scotch...

Not every man can pull of burnt orange - well done sir.

Giada made it over to slum it with the rif raf for a bit (she created the lunch menu for our side and did the lunch on the VIP side as well).

Final cocktails of the day - Pierre Jouet Champagne! Yum!

Duchess Catherine handing out the Tiffany prizes, sorry for the bad photo quality - still need a new camera!
