There is nothing that Poon and I love more than a picnic. Spending our afternoons talking and laughing on our picnic mat while watching the sun set behind the lake is our favorite way to wind down together.
I remember the first time he took me to Nong Phrajak. I had been there countless times before with students during our summer programs. That always consisted of massages and smoothies. Little did I know, there is an amazing park full of grassy fields, winding paths, and walking bridges over the lake - all on a little peninsula that tucks itself right into the center of the lake! Poon is a romantic at heart, or at least I imagine he is, because he loves taking me to the park to have picnics and play a little badminton. It's become my favorite thing to do in Udon Thani.
This is us a year ago on one of our first picnics at Nong Phrajak. We love this spot right under a big tree at the edge of the lake.
The walking bridge is another favorite spot.
This year we haven't had as much time to spend at the park between visiting family, running group trips, etc. So during our last week together we are trying to make it a priority to have a quick picnic as many evenings after work as we can!
Yesterday the weather was perfect. Sunny but not too hot and a really light breeze rustling through the trees. We set up camp (a woven straw mat, a few little pillows, and a couple of snacks) and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon.
