Nobody wants to see me

I do have a couple tripods, a heavy Manfrotto and a light Velbon, but I'm never in the mood to carry them if it's a family outing. I only seem to use them for set-ups at home, or when I'm going out alone for a "photo trek".
Yes, I guess my timing was good. I was thinking of heading out to Central Park again this past weekend to catch the leaves closer to peak, but the rain convinced me to rethink my plans.
Regards,
Warren
