Tsaritsino Park

Meisian suggested this place, so off we went today. Well, the reason is to find out if it is worth bringing our parents when they come over but actually it is just an excuse to go out to have fun! LOL. There are history and architecture museum, nice landscape park with an adjacent forest, an art museum, the Biryulyovo dendropark and a cascade of the Tsaritsino ponds where lotsa ducks and 1 white big swan live :) We picnicked by the lake, not just once but TWICE within the few hours there! haha! We visited the "Main palace museum" and were awed by it. It is undoubtedly worth going in, what more when it is FOC for students! ka ka ka!

In my point of view, this place beats VDNX and it is not that far after all. However, be prepared to spend a half day there and come back with leg pain and muscle ache! That is the price to pay. LOL.

Picnic! I made egg+crabstick sandwiches, Nic made tuna sandwiches, Lonny made sardine roll, very yummy! We finished them in no time! Lingtze and Meisian baked marble cake, Boonchin bought some junk food and David brought us juicy fresh fruits! :) Oh yah, forgot to mention we were entertained by some easy listening music from the outdoor speakers of the park. Great picnic ambience, indeed!
