Summer 2020 is going to look a bit different, that’s for sure. The world is slowly but surely opening back up, but social distancing is still a very real precaution that needs practicing. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy the warm weather and your summer for that matter.

After spending months cooped up inside, you deserve fun in the sun, we all do! So, what’s a great outdoor activity for the whole family that promotes social distancing? Picnicking!

Ah, the art of picnicking, when’s the last time you packed up lunch and headed outdoors? No, not the last time you made it to your patio furniture, I mean you really made an effort to enjoy a picnic!
