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!

My cherry picking adventures!

Today I went to pick cherries and boysenberries at Pease Cherry Farm. I have never picked cherries before...or boysenberries. It really makes you appreciate all of the workers and farmers who put in hard work to bring us all those berries from those prickly plants! I had a great time and scored 2 lbs of cherries and 2 lbs of boysenberries. A friend and I thought we had about 4 lbs between the both of us but once it was weighed we had 7.5 lbs! Glad we stopped when we did or we would have had to walk away with over 7.5 lbs of cherries!!!

What a cherry's butt would look like if it had one ;P

Boysenberries!

Accidental trip to Treasure Island

Last week I accidentally got on the wrong exit of no return to get on the bridge towards SF. I wanted to go home but made a wrong turn. Unfortunately, I didn't have cash for the bridge and now will be fined $30, but anyways I turned around at Treasure Island. It had a wonderful view of the city but was getting dark so I'll have to go back to show my hubby! Here is what I got before it was too dark :)

Fun adventures with family!

One of my husband's cousin and girlfriend are staying with us for the week. This last weekend and throughout the week we took them to Muir Woods, Japantown, drove by the Painted Ladies, and drove up to Twin Peaks. We have some fun things planned for Saturday and Sunday! Here are some instagram photos I took :)
