I love picnics. A blanket, good food, and your favorite people. The beauty of a picnic is that one can find almost any spot, or obliging field with a lovely view and plop oneself down on a blanket. Then proceed to munch on scrumptious food while taking in the beauty of the outdoors.

I live about 15 minutes from the beach. So of course, the beach is one of my favorite places to have a picnic. I love to pack up my beach blanket, my family, and some easy eats into a basket or grocery bag (lets be real. ) and head to the beach. My family and I eat dinner together, then my husband and I watch the kids splash in the water as we relax on the beach. The kids come in from swimming and we all watch sunset. Pink, orange, yellow, and purple streaks into the sky as the sun dips low. We count down as only a tenth of the sun is remaining in the sky…” 4…3…2..1…GONE!” we all yell. We all look hard at the sky above to see if anyone saw the legendary “green flash” just as the sun disappeared. We take a deep breath and breath in the beauty of this moment together…

Yep, picnics are magical. The main thing holding me back most of the time is the prep work for a picnic.
