An Evening at the Park

It's a beautiful thing to be married. Being married means never missing out on a good thing because it's likely that between the two of you, one of you will know what you should do on a given night. Such was tonight and our trip to Lodi Point State Park.
It was my first time. Won't be my last. It was quiet. Beautiful. And rather in the middle of nowhere and that's saying something anymore, coming from me.
Had it been left to me, Family Night would have ended with the lesson and milkshakes, but thanks to my wife we carried on down to the park and to a perfect moment to cap a perfect night (actually the milkshakes afterward really capped it nicely, but this was good too). There's something to be said about places that allow you to meditate on the move—especially if you're a parent. I don't know how this park is all the time, but tonight it was Zen.
