We don't go to Ikea often, but it seems like an annual trip isn't a bad idea; We took a hike through a new nature area nearby, tried on snorkeling gear, and watched finches in the yard. During the week we enjoyed a walk through downtown where we ogled some used bikes, and had a picnic outside our library; And what better a way to end the week, and begin a new month, than with a trip to the zoo in nearly 80 degree weather—are we sure it's only April?
