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.
