In our quest to find ways to adapt to Todd's new schedule, I've been surprised at how easy it's been to do all sorts of fun things... In fact, now that we have the mornings together (instead of the evenings) we're actually able to do all the activities we lack the energy or time to do at night.
For instance, last Friday we went on a picnic in Golden Gate Park, up near Stowe Lake, before competing in a charity dodgeball tournament where we got thoroughly pummeled (though Todd stood his ground for ten minutes - alone of our team of seven against five members of the competing team. I was so proud of him!!).
Back to the picnic: we picked up sandwiches at this great little deli in the Marina District called Marina Market and we put all of the food and drinks into the wicker picnic basket that we've been itching to use ever since we got it!
Then we drove over to the park and wandered about for a bit, looking for the ideal sunny/grassy spot.
[Most of the pictures I took are on my camera, rather than on its memory card, so the photos below are the ones I took once I realized I needed to put the memory card in. Once I figure out how to transfer pictures from the camera itself, you will see some wonderfully silly ones of us lying on a bed of tiny daisies, looking very sleepy and happy...]
Our picnic was delicious. We poured our drinks into proper glasses and toasted the afternoon and the sun and each other, and marveled at the fact that we would be married in less than four months!
Afterwards, we decided to take a nice long walk and came upon some beautiful scenery, such as these white flowering trees:
And these turtles, balancing precariously on a sodden log:
And this little... prairie dog? gopher? what could it possibly be? But he was very adorable...
Thus ended a sweet, stolen afternoon. :-)
