saturday in the park, i think it was the fourth of july

Today was a gorgeous day. We headed to Gunpowder Falls State Park, 45 minutes northwest of Bmore, because our friend Greg told us there was windsurfing there. None of us had ever tried windsurfing before, so we thought we'd give it a try. When we got to the park and were ready to pay our $20 each to have an hour of windsurfing, we were disappointed to learn that they require you to have taken lessons before they let you use their equipment. Psh. And they weren't giving lessons today. And one lesson was $60.

Although we didn't windsurf, we still had lots of fun. We went swimming, and the water was actually warm. Coming from the north, it's so weird to have water warm in May; usually it's not warm until mid or late July. We also tossed around a football in the water with a bunch of kids. And flew a kite. And we met a new friend who played soccer with us. 'Twas a day full of sunshine, warmth, smiles, friendship, interacting and playing with random people, milkshakes, sunburn, and sport; those are the things that pretty much comprise a perfect day, in my opinion.
