A little while back, while planning out my family’s dinner menu, I was struck by the idea of a picnic. It’s been a long time since we had a picnic simply for the sake of having a picnic. You know what I’m talking about – loading up the family car and heading out for a drive. Maybe drive along the coast, or up into the hills or just a nearby park. Spread out a blanket, and relax. No big events. No schedules. No distractions. Just quality family time under the shade of a big tree somewhere. So I pulled up our schedule. We love attending little county fairs, street festivals, antique gatherings, and stepping back in both time and space to Celtic or Renaissance gatherings. In March, we attended our first every Civil War Reenactment. It was awesome!
