How do you gauge the start of summer?  If you’re downtown try Donovan House’s rooftop pool, perched atop Thomas Circle with spectacular views of the city.  Pair it with an orange crush sunset and a smooth breeze fluttering over party dresses and pink button-downs.

At Washington Life’s summer bash last night we had Zentan Chef Jamie De Oca’s Spicy Tuna Sushi and Scallop Sushi with fresh ginger, Singapore Slaw served in little Chinese take-out boxes and Crusted Vegetable Dumplings.

DC DJ Seyhan Duru kept it hot and “Pirate Punch” made with Absolut Raspberry Vodka kept it cool.
