Your getaway in the Park

When you are planning that next picnic in the park, you need to plan ahead as to what to bring.  You know for sure you will be packing your food and drinks.  Maybe bring along some games to play or a radio.  One other thing to bring along is your picnic blanket.

Sitting on the picnic blanket is so much nicer to sit on then the grass.  You can then lay down and enjoy the hot sun on your face while relaxing in the park.

If you are hiking and taking along a lunch picnic blankets now come with carriers so they are easy to carry on a hike.

Bring along a Picnic Blanket

I found this great article that I think blog readers would like to see that pretains to picnic blankets.

In contemporary usage, picnic can be defined simply as a pleasure excursion at which a meal is eaten outdoors (al fresco or en plein air), ideally taking place in a beautiful landscape such as a park, beside a lake or with an interesting view and possibly at a public event such as before an open air theatre performance, and usually in Summer.

Picnics are often family-oriented but can also be an intimate occasion between two people, or a large get-together such as company picnics and church picnics.

On romantic and family picnics a picnic basket and a picnic blanket (to sit or recline on) are usually brought along. Outdoor games or some other form of entertainment are common at large picnics.

Some picnics are a potluck, an entertainment at which each person contributed some dish to a common table for all to share. When the picnic is not also a cookout, the food eaten is rarely hot, instead taking the form of sandwiches, finger food, fresh fruit, salad, cold meats and accompanied by chilled wine or champagne or soft drinks.
