Staff Picnic, Annapolis

THE WASHINGTONIAN STAFF PICNIC AT A PRIVATE HOME ON THE SEVERN RIVER

The photo above accurately captures the sunny, serene and sweet atmosphere at the Washingtonian staff picnic this afternoon. We were on the banks of the Severn River, just outside Annapolis. The menu was grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, plus potato salad, pasta salad, corn salad, fresh watermelon, cookies. There was a fierce game of baci, kite-flying, and room to roam. Water sports were available, too, though I don't know whether anyone kayaked or sailed. There was a good, brisk breeze. Basically, an altogether good afternoon.
