Hats and hikes

As noted previously, there is general agreement that the heat and humidity of Washington in summer make it unfit for human habitation, forcing inhabitants to dart from one air-conditioned space to another. But there are urban escapes to be had. Two photos from a family hike on the wooded hills of the National Arboretum. When Utahn field geologist par excellence David Dinter paid a visit to the swamp, Bea attempted to mirror the rake of his weather-beaten hat with her own and then tried the real thing. And speaking of hats (if not the urban experience), the girls sport a pair of Shaker bonnets, a look not to be passed up.
