Looking for an easy, yet romantic date night out? Enjoy the beautiful weather and pack a picnic dinner!

A picnic is easy enough, but a little planning can take it to a new level. Pick a local area that is quiet and open, such as local park or field. The Prince William Park Authority website lets you see what some of the parks that are in your area.

Next, plan what you would like to serve. Pack simple foods and drinks that travel well, yet still will be something special. Cold salmon served on ground wheat crackers with various cheeses is a good option, as is gourmet cold-cut sandwiches with deli meats and specialty condiments. For dessert, try strawberries and whipped cream or cupcakes from a local bakery. Drinks can be as simple as bottle of your favorite wine or even chilled water.

Be sure to pack a picnic blanket, napkins, and something to enjoy together such as a book or a board game. It’s a simple recipe for a pleasant evening out.
