The river and weather were spectacular, as they so often are around my birthday. Annie put together a yummy picnic dinner, we went for a quick swim then hopped in the kayaks and headed upstream. We paddled and played until we stopped about a mile up at a perfect sandy patch above a big rock and under a gorgeous cypress tree. There we feasted on smoked salmon and chicken salad, cheese, olives, raspberries, macaroons and proseco - a perfect birthday. | |
We love our versatile little kayaks. The bungees on back allow an amazing variety of cargo options. | |

I know, I was suffering but please don't pity me too much. | |
Here's that aforementioned rock being kept warm by the birthday boy. The river behind me was one of our views. | |
And here's another view from our picnic site. | |
Finally, the obligatory self-timer shot of the happily picnicing pair. | |
