Full Day of Fun

We spent an afternoon at Berkeley's Tilden Park last weekend. This place has loads of fun stuff to do and check out. We had high hopes and a full list, but only made it to the Botanical Gardens. It was just so peaceful and after finding a nice place on the grass, we were sucked in. So we are very excited to check out the other things this park has to offer, but will have to explore another time. 

We had a great picnic lunch after walking about half way through the gardens. Our little lunch patch was in between the trees.

During lunch, E showed off his latest uniqueness:

His love for carrying shoes by their strings??

I'd love to tell you this is the first time we've seen this, but it's not. And it's always this position; with his arm behind his back. It's quite entertaining, not gonna lie. 

At one point, he added the lunch pail.

It's good to know he fits right into our crazy antics. ;)

Lots of beautiful nature!

That evening, W & I headed out on a much anticipated date night! Seems like it's been forever, but we can't complain with all our traveling and other fun family events. Since it's been so long, we decided on just doing a slow dinner. Our three hour dinner at Simply Fondue was a.mazing and delicious!

Can't remember the last time I had a four course meal. Or have ever been that stuffed! Far more than any Thanksgiving. We learned quickly: pace yourself. It was truly such a great time to connect. We both felt a noticeable difference the next day. Love dating my hubby and that we all had such a great day.
