On Friday I took Mark and Sadie on a surprise outing. I didn't tell Mark what we were doing only that I was going to pick him up at school and go to a secret location/locations. He was going crazy all day wondering what I had in store for the night. Many guesses were made. But he never figured it out. So after about an hour of traffic I picked him up and we headed over to the beautiful Japanese and Italian gardens at Maymont. Since I was in unexpected traffic for so long we only had a half an hour there but we plan on going back soon. For all you Richmonders who have not yet bean there: I recommend. Very pretty. After our jaunt through the gardens we had a lovely picnic at Byrd park. Nothing too fancy, just some Sheppard's pie, mangoes and grapes. It was so nice to be outside. I long Spring time-- always have, always will. Sadie loved being out side. We have been locked up all winter so I think she is fascinated with all the sounds and light that are outside. After our picnic we headed over to the science museum where the astronomical society was having a night watch. It's a bunch of astronomy dorks with their telescopes checking out the moon, Saturn, Mars and other fun stuff in space. It was really fun. It was crazy to see Saturn. It looks so fake. I think Mark and Sadie really enjoyed my surprise outing I planned for them. I know I really did.

Ashley, you are such a great example. What a sweet wife & mom. My favorite pics (not that it matters) are the close-up of Sadie and her dad, and then the 'family tree' pic of Sadie and mom. You always have such fabulous pictures! Thanks for sharing.
What a fun date! Good planning Ashley.
