Trip to Pushkin

So many of you may have noticed that due to our lack of posting activity you can determine two things-

1. Nikki is back at work and Josh is back in school full time and their lives have become far less worthy of blog posts.
2. We have been having so much fun that finding the time to post blogs has been impossible.

Unfortunately the former smells like the truth much more than the latter.

This last weekend we went to Pushkin about 25 kilometers outside the city, we took public transportation there, and learned that we should probably drive there in the future as we are sure we could get there in a quarter of the time of the metro/bus combination. Regardless it was probably one of the last beautiful days of the summer and we enjoyed a great walk outside in the marvelous parks of the Czars summer palace, you can learn more about the area here.

Here are some pictures we took around the gardens.

I love how you guys say that you're enjoying one of the last nice days of "summer", yet Nikki is already wearing gloves and a warm jacket. Ha ha ha! :)

Nina- How right you are, Nikki actually is wearing two coats in some of the pictures, the green one is mine, worn outside of her coat, you'll know all too well in a few months.
