The Picnic that wasn't, or try , try again...

We enjoy summer, especially since global warming has meant our summers over the past 5 years have been on average cooler than those of my childhood…seriously, today was a partly cloudy day in the upper 70’s, until like last week's high of  111…

So on our days off, Honey gets me and the dog, and we travel a short distance from our home to “cow country” seeking a likely place to have a spontaneous picnic. That was again the plan today; however the family adherence to avoiding local news programs should be rethought.

We ended up at Rancho Seco Park, discovering that a triathlon was in place for today and tomorrow. Sooooooooooo, all the picnic places were taken, all the campsites taken, and the normally free park had an admission fee…OOPS.

Continuing our journey, we traveled the back roads and ended up in Folsom, and resigned ourselves to a hamburger at a local favorite. The dog appreciated this, since she absolutely loves hamburgers, the meat anyway.

So now armed with the knowledge our destination of today was out, Honey is suggesting we try again Sunday afternoon, only this time he is checking online the destination for any events…Have a nice Sunday!
