Picnics, Arboretums, & Pools

I didn’t get to publish any blog posts last week because I was trying to spend extra time resting and getting over the cold that Andrew and I have been fighting.  Thankfully I’m feeling much better this week, but now I’m another weekend behind on these recaps!  A couple of weekends
