L & C's Favorite Thursday Afternoon Outing with the Kids
Pretty much every Thursday afternoon/early evening, we take our kids on the gold line (exit at Mission) to the South Pasadena Farmers' Market for play, people-watching, and mouth-watering morsels. Adding the train ride to the market enhances the experience in a few ways. 1): It eliminates the hassle of finding parking in South Pasadena. 2): The kids totally dig it. 3): It's kind of a green thing to do, and that's always positive.
For info on the market, go here: South Pas Farmers' Market.

And now for some taste-bud-tempting photos of our dinner and dessert . . .
