Swiss Avenue Home Tour on 9 May 2009

The Dallas Hat Band met on Saturday, May 9, 2009. We met at Cynthia's home and then strolled the streets to tour the homes that were open for the Swiss Avenue Historic Home Tour. We had so much fun that we decided to make it an annual event. The weather was perfect.

We started out on Cynthia's front porch, enjoying the view and people watching. In the picture below, Cynthia is going into the house and Rhonda and Maureen are visiting. We all brought salads and sat down together for a delicious luncheon.


This is Cynthia and Joyce as we prepare to take the tour.

Along the way, we stopped at the park, where there was live music and vendors. Best of all, one of the vendors was selling hats.

Rhonda tried on a pink hat that matched her outfit fabulously!


Maureen bought this stunning big brimmed black and white hat.

Here is a mirror image of Suzanne.
Loretta bought a cute green hat.

After touring for several hours, we went back to Cynthia's for some of her delicious homemade sangria.
