Cherry always transcended me to a spring picnic. I don’t know about you, but I miss going outside, laying down my blanket, and enjoying lunch under the shade of a tree. Picnic food must be easy to transport and eat since you are out and not using a table most of the time.
A picnic is a perfect first-date idea. You are meeting for the first time in a public place, and you want to impress them. Both of you figure out what you will bring. Probably a sandwich, water bottle, or iced tea, chips, and fruit. What about dessert? A picnic deserves three courses as well, while you two learn more about each other.
