Mother's Day Picnic
Another Mother's Day, another feast from Zabar's. As usual, my only Mother's Day request was a picnic. We managed to find a really lovely spot close to home with shady jacarandas and lots of open space for Dillon to roam like the wild buffalo she is. Here she exhibits our lunch:

Ducks and Gorillas--It's a Jungle Out There!
Hey...it's a post that's not about Balboa Park (although technically Morley Field is a part of the entire Balboa Park complex). Dillon had a great time on the playground and Craig actually got in a little weightlifting.

Japan #1 Friendship Garden Cherry Blossom Good Time
We decided to head to Balboa Park (not again!) to check out the cherry blossom festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden. Alas it was sooooo crowded we didn't even stay long enough to sample any mochi. But the cherry blossoms were pretty!

Ciao, Rain!
I bought a new umbrella about 15 years ago. Since we've been in San Diego I used it maybe 5 times. Eventually I decided to buy a new one--and I assume this will last me the rest of my life--and Dillon actually got to try it out during an all-too-rare rainy day here. Couldn't resist a little color splash at the end!

Balboa Park--We Might As Well Live Here
Balboa Park, how we love thee! Also check out her cool thrift-store, leopard-print dress.

That Was Then / This Is Now (XI)
It seems like so long ago (and I suppose it was) that Dillon and I first took a stroll through the Balboa Park sculpture garden (I told you we went there all the time). The last time we went the sculptures has changed and the strolling was done sans stroller.
Believe it or not, these pictures were taken exactly two years apart!
