Picnic season

Picnic season is upon us and I couldn't be more pumped. A few months ago I purchased a large picnic blanket from Costco and deemed it "the wisest $20 I have ever spent". Since then, I have found ample excuses to pull it out and am happy to report I have used it on an almost daily basis. As soon as it gets warm enough to sit outside my preferred place is to be outside.

In the Summer, one of my favorite things to do is meet Cameron after work and go on a picnic. Even though it takes a little extra work to pack a picnic there is something inherently festive about preparing and loading up a picnic basket. On those nights when things get to hectic we like to grab something on our way to the park. Either way, the time spent together as a family enjoying the warm Summer air is the thing I daydream the most about on the coldest and dreariest of Winter days in the PNW. 

A large picnic blanket has become so useful as Jasper is starting to scoot and crawl all over the place. Although he is undeterred by the feel of grass I am not fond of him pulling it and putting it in his mouth. 

Gasworks is just about the most scenic place to picnic in Seattle. Sailboats breezing by, seaplanes flying overhead and houseboats in the distance make for entertainment while eating.
