A recent sunny, gorgeous Sunday afternoon saw us planning a picnic at Crissy Field, to be followed by a raucous hour of trampoline jumping at the nearby House of Air.
Samantha and I (OK, really just Samantha) dreamed up the perfect sandwich for this outing: crusty country bread, topped with triple cream brie, fig spread, fresh arugula, and pear slices.
They were phenomenal, to say the least (and looked cute to boot, wrapped in wax paper with festive tape). We enjoyed our sandwiches in the sun with some country olives, kumquats, and a delicious trail mix. Little did we know we'd need every ounce of this sustenance to carry us through the energy-sapping (but ridiculously fun) experience that is trampoline jumping.
We'd brought Cole's hula hoop and she took a few turns with it. Then, fatefully, so did I. As a result, I lost my wedding ring, but about 24 hours later, with the aid of the Bay Area's premiere father-daughter metal detecting team, I recovered it. Whew.
What's your favorite picnic food? And your favorite spot? Crissy Field is pretty much perfect--plenty of soft grass for a picnic blanket, the beach for walking, and an unparalleled view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
i can confirm: those sandwiches were AWESOME!!! WANT. MORE.
