Picnics are another great way parents can feel like part of civilization, baby can get some fresh air and the family can spend quality time together. Today we packed the breast milk cooler with Miller Lites (as in only Miller Lites) and went to Taylor's Gourmet on 14th and T, NW, for foot long subs before we hoofed it up 15th Street to Meridian Park.
Mom got the Delaney sandwich with roastbeef but said it was a little light on the Gorgonzola and red peppers, and Dad ordered the Roosevelt, aka chicken parmesean, and loved it. It seemed like straightforward hearty sandwiches for two hungry adults at a slightly higher than normal price ($10.45 each). Admittedly, with a little moderation, you could have the other half for dinner.
I gnawed on some pieces of fresh crusty bread (probably the best part of Taylor's) that they each broke off and fed me. Like many Sunday's at Meridian, I was within ear shot of a guitar group gathering to practice Simon and Garfunkel songs, and otherwise had no trouble sitting still while Mom and Dad lunched.

I think they would repeat the picnic again but probably elect for Fast Gourmet sandwiches - a consistent parent favorite - although I usually need to eat something else since it is a bit greasy for babe.
After the picnic we walked up the park for the Meridian Hill drum circle where I had fun jamming (on my mom's shoulders). Even though I wanted to eat more when we got home, the picnic and drum circle are fun solutions for a Sunday afternoon in the U Street, Adams Morgan or Columbia Heights neighborhoods.
