Step Two: At ungodly hour of 9:00 a.m., arrive with children at Bright Leaf Nature Preserve for a guided hike with four other families. Receive welcome surprise of seeing some friends you haven't seen for a while.
Step Three: Listen closely as the docent waxes eloquent about deer tracks and various plants and natural phenomena you wouldn't normally know a thing about. Reflect on how much better this is than your typical hikes: "Look, kids, at that pretty plant! Isn't it pretty? I wonder what it is. So pretty."
Step Four: Let oldest child/budding photojournalist document freely for his Wildlife Album.

Step Seven: Return home; immediately begin Quiet Time. Write blog post and wonder how to pack for tomorrow's trip to a city that had 90 degree weather last week, and 50 degree weather this week. The brain, it simply cannot compute. Better call Mom.

Did the new restaurant have gluten-free burger buns, or did your burger have to go naked? LOL
Have fun on the trip. The weather sounds way too cold for almost June!
Actually, I had it half-naked -- ate one bun but not the other due to concerns about table manners. Now I have a headache. Interesting.
