Picnic!

Last Sunday (July 12) Maggie, Panda, and I headed down to the Charles River for a special treat: a picnic and the Sunday New York Times (highlight: crossword). For the first time, we picnicked in high style, using a special picnic backpack that I originally gave my parents for their 20th wedding anniversary. It has everything you could need on a picnic, as you can see.

We had cheese and bread, chickpea salad, ice-cold lemonade (thanks to the special insulated wine "bucket" on the side), and other goodies. Hooray for summer picnics! (And thanks, mom, for the picnic backpack!)
