We spent four years living on Kaneohe MCAS (from 1984 - 1988) and loved it. I don't think I could pick a favorite place, though my kids certainly liked Kailua beach!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite picnic spot is at the bay here in San Diego. As long as it isn't way too windy!
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of nice parks where we can picnic. Some of them are near lakes and when the kids were young we used to visit them often. Recently we have gone to our a local park where there is an amphitheater. It's so nice to picnic and to listen to the music on a Sunday evening.
ReplyDeleteFavorite is on the lake but when my kids were young (64-70) we would go to park next to Zoo (no long have zoo). The favorite time was Easter when we would have Easter Egg hunts. The park is also gone now to apts and businesses.

One of my favourite antique hoppings is near Stratford, Ontario
ReplyDelete(where Justin Bieber is from) is a little hamlet called Shakespeare and they have the most quaintest antique shops and this where I enjoy going on a Sunday. It is a homely little town.
I like Central Park for picnics.
ReplyDeleteI love hiking out to this small water fall and eating there. I go with my girls and we love it.,

It's been a while, but we used to have picnics at Central Park.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! My favorite anitique store is called The Barn.
ReplyDeleteWe have one large park with tons of picnic areas so you can choose different spots and then a smaller one close by. Although now that the kids are grown, it's been a while since I've visited them.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite picnic spot is at the local park called Lorenzi park. They have a large pond and in the middle of the pond is a large island with ducks, geese and other birds who if they see you throwing food into the water, will swim over to you so you can feed them.
ReplyDeleteAreas around here are a little too dangerous for picnic's ,even the most secure spots can be too dangerous but yes there is a favourite spot that we use to go to it has a lake and the most gorgeous ducks and swans and beautiful trees for shade.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway Kim

The one place we tend to picnic occasionally is at the Hollywood Bowl but the bees can be a terrible problem so we often end up in the car...which negates the whole concept of picnicking!
