"Just get from my waist up," I said before he snapped this composition of my whole body, including my purse! What a dork.
The Carlsbad Flower Fields are an hour away from my house. It's a funny story how I ended up going with my husband. A number of things transpired before he actually offered to go with me:
1. I had been trying to go for a couple weekends with a girlfriend but it just never worked out.
2. My husband had recently bought an expensive race car part.
3. My husband had recently ditched me on a Saturday night to go to the car races.
I guess he was feeling guilty so one day he said, "I will go with you to Carlsbad if you want."
Did I really want to walk around flower fields and a craft show with my race car driving husband? Not really. But since he offered, I said yes. How many car races had I endured? How many banquets, reunions, and family events had I gone along because that's what wives do?
The whole day was just as you would expect. Crowds, no parking, cheesy craft show, crappy food, and rows and rows of beautiful, giant ranunculus.
I was in heaven.
My husband was in hell.
It was a wonderful day, but next time I'd rather just go by myself.

Yep, we hubbies can be dorks. When have we ever followed our wives directions?
Wisdom, learned the hard way, has taught me to just go along with her on things that interest her, even when I couldn't care less.
Oh how I hate when people don't "compose" a photo...but he can be forgiven I guess. ;)
This sounds like when my husband comes shopping with me! He is all about getting in and getting out. Window shopping? Just browsing? That is for the insane.
Awwwww he does love you! That's so sweet. Besides, they need to suffer sometimes, too. Death by boredome from beautiful flowers is not likely, so I'm sure he's ok.
And your picture is lovely!
Pretty! Next time tell him to shut it and smile! haha
How much do I love that your entire body AND PURSE are in that shot?
Just like a man to take a picture like that.
But what a beautiful portrait he captured of you and the flowers!
Sounds like an absolutely gorgeous day.
For sure go by yourself next time ;-)
There are some things husbands are just not meant to be included in. This would be one of those things.
