30 Days of Happiness, Day 5: A Golden Afternoon

This past weekend we took Charlie out to one of our favorite places. It was his first out-of-town trip. He did a lot of this:



But he did come out of the stroller at lunchtime to hang out.



The rest of the time, Roy and I talked and I took a lot of photos. We went to the Chinese Garden for the first time.





The fish enthusiastically greeted us.



And I made friends with a butterfly.




We visited the museum while we were there.




It contained the creepiest painting ever. This photo doesn't really capture the creepiness well.



I took pictures of Roy



and statues



and flowers.



I used my broken Nifty 50 to take some macros.



I completely overexposed this one because I wasn't paying attention to my camera settings at the time.



I love happy accidents. And I love golden afternoons with my two best guys.
