Today was day one of what I’ve dubbed the “Men in Skirts” weekend, with a jaunt out to Golden Gardens Park<\/a> for the Utilikilts<\/a> 5th Anniversary party.<\/p>\n

\"Rock<\/a>Prairie and I had a lot of fun exploring the park. Neither of us had been there before, so we bounced back and forth between the picnic and wandering up and down the beach. While clambering over rock piles and underneath a pier, Prairie got to show me a lot of sea critters that I hadn’t seen outside of aquariums before, from huge starfish<\/a> to tiny rock crabs<\/a> that skittered away from us after she kicked over the rocks they were hiding under.<\/p>\n

\"Me,<\/a>The picnic was also quite fun, with really<\/em> good sausages and other potluck goodies to munch on, and quite a few Utilikiltarians (some of them employees, others, like me, customers and fans) chatting and playing. I spent some time playing frisbee out on the sand with Steven<\/a>, Jenniviere<\/a>, and Ben<\/a>‘s daughter<\/a> (amusingly, Ben and I know each other from Anchorage — long time ago) until my feet couldn’t take the hot sand anymore.<\/p>\n

We ended up bailing out around 4pm, as there were chores to putter with at home (fun things like laundry and a little bit of straightening up for visitors tomorrow). Good day, a park that we’ll definitely be heading back to so we can explore it in a bit more detail, and much fun meeting some of the people behind the Utilikilt empire!<\/p>\n\n\n
