Steak Sandwiches and Symphony

There was a concert in the park last night. Now that I have free time, a concert in the park is THE thing to do. And it wasn't just any concert, it was the Pacific Symphony. My brother came with us and I packed us a picnic dinner. We sat on the grass, under the blue sky, listening to the symphony and eating steak sandwiches, grilled corn, and salad. I was actually really impressed with my little picnic because everything stayed warm! I made the steak sandwiches into Paninis with my George Foreman grill, and wrapped the corn in aluminum foil and it was just the best picnic!

It was nice catching up with my bro too, even though we live so close I don't get to see him very often because he's so busy. Last night was no exception. He had plans before our dinner, and multiple plans for after. Must suck to be so popular. I wouldn't know. He got the good genes.
