#Thursday13 – Picnics, Picnics, Everywhere


A picnic can be a romantic event.
 I remember one time Dearest Hubby and I took two of our boys (when they were very small) to a beach along Lake Michigan. We packed a yummy picnic including juice boxes for the boys and a bottle of wine for us. We sat back, sipped our wine while holding hands while watching our little ones play.

One summer was very hot and we were limited on time due to a busy schedule. We often held a picnic under a tree in our yard, in the garden (where we often ate fresh picked veggies) or on the deck with hubby grilling.

While traveling we had a long layover at Chicago Midway. We spread a blanket under some potted trees. The youngest took a nap, while hubby & I played a game with another son. Nothing is sexier than a man being a good dad.

It is up to you and your honey, but even with the rug-rats around, it is possible to capture a few romantic moments.
Here is my list of places for a picnic.
1. On the beach
2. In a park
3. In the garden
4. On the deck
5. At the zoo
6. On a riverbank
7. In a city plaza
8. Under the stars
9. At an outdoor concert
10. In a public garden
11. On the porch
12. On a tailgate (maybe even at a sporting event)
13. In a pasture (but be aware: cows are very curious)

4th of July - Romantic Picnic

Usually, the words “romantic” and “4th of July” don’t appear in the same sentence, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plan a wonderful, cozy day with the one you love! So, if you’d like to avoid the crowds and plan a day for two, the Fourth of July is a great time to do it.


If you’re planning a romantic meal, you’re not likely to go for the traditional Fourth of July fare like hamburgers and hot dogs. Instead, opt for something a bit simpler that’s not going to require tons of preparation and clean-up. The idea is to spend quality time with the one you love, so keep the work to a minimum.

The easiest romantic picnic is what many would refer to as French-style. That includes a great big loaf of crusty bread, a variety of cheeses, some fruit, and a bottle of your favorite wine or champagne. Purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local deli if you wish. This can be eaten warm or cold. End the meal with some fresh strawberries!


You might consider starting your picnic at dusk so you can hang around for the fireworks. A great ending to any romantic Fourth of July picnic includes the opportunity to sit under the stars the show! As with the picnic location, seek out a site that’s not crowded but still provides a good view of the festivities, if possible. Spread out a blanket, lay back, hold hands, and admire the sky rockets! And don’t rush home once the fireworks are finished. Linger a little while and bask in the beauty of the night before you pack up.
