Discovery Park Picnic

Picnicking is quickly becoming my favorite summer past time.

This time it was a Redmill Burger Picnic.

 
At my new favorite park in Seattle: Discovery Park.

Followed by a hike, to work off some of that burger damage.

I'd heard talk of a great beach at Discovery Park, while eavesdropping in the grocery store line a few days earlier. And voila, a great beach:

Complete with rugged coastline driftwood and a lighthouse.

Picnic!

Summer finally arrived in Seattle over the weekend. Since it's June, it's a little overdue, and all Seattle-ites, including myself, were out in full force enjoying the glorious 70-ish weather and sunshine. Our outdoor activity of choice: a picnic!

We selected Leschi Park on Lake Washington as our picnic destination and picked up all of our picnic goodies at Leschi Market. Smoked Salmon Pasta Salad, Sweet Curry Cous Cous, and Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta. Iced Tea/Lemonade. Chips.

We also snacked on pistachios as we lounged in the shade under the trees.

After picnicking and relaxing and frisbeeing and reading, we explored the area a little more. Marveled at the view of Mt. Rainier and drove around the lake.

Then we stopped at the Arboretum for a walk down Azalea Lane.

 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!
