Berkeley Kite Festival 7/28

My husband and I had a great time at the Kite Festival last weekend! We bought a kite and he put it together. It had a rough start to get enough height but it soon reached where everyone else was. Some friends from church joined us in the afternoon for a picnic and had a great time talking to them!

Memorial Day: Picnic In The Park

My husband was on his way back from LA Congress (Salsa Competition) on Memorial Day...his flight was delayed for 2 hours so that cut into my plans of eating out on a picnic/hiking adventure at Marin Headlands. So hopefully some weekend soon we will make it over there, it looks beautiful! Anyways, so I picked him up from the airport and we decided to just find a park to eat a late lunch since I had already packed a picnic for hiking anyways. It was probably a good idea that we did not go on a hike because he was pretty tired from such a long weekend and was asleep soon after our late lunch. We decided to check out Cesar Chavez Park where people go to fly their kites. It was pretty windy (which is why it is a great place for kite flying) but we found a place on a side of a hill that had no wind. I decided next time we go to that park we will have to buy and bring an awesome kite to fly and that we'll have to go to the kite flying festival in July! Here are a few shots that I took with Instagram and my iPhone as my exhasted husband was taking his mini-nap on our picnic spot. Unfortunately, my iphone can't capture all the little kites in the sky but you get the picture...

Golden Gate

This was an older man on a skate board, it looked like hard work to control it and it was super windy...I was impressed by his age and his skill that he was exercising in this way!
