Picnic Chaos: Tips, Time And Locations

When my buddies and I are generally going to go for a picnic, we all begin to divide things to do for each one. I always end up getting the part that decides on the area where to hold the picnic. We have already been almost everywhere I can possibly think of. We have held picnics at the park and also the last time we did, we had ants on our plates in less that 15 minutes of playing hide and seek behind the trees.


Evidently, the ants were also playing tag on which food to take on first. The top part is they chose to take over my plate first. My plate, which had a piece of pizza, blueberry cheesecake, hotdogs and macaroni salad, looked like a huge pile of red fire ants. If I did not pay a lot of attention, the next thing I will be eating would certainly be soft food because of a fat lip. So take the park off the list.


One of my friends suggested that we go to a local mall and do our picnic by the benches at the food court. As if you can still call that picnic if we do that. That's practically what we're doing on a daily basis. Pigging out on pizza and then afterwards, going to the arcade to shed off some pounds with the interactive games they have there like Dance Dance Revolution (isn't that a little bit 90's?).


Anyway, the point is, we go to the mall every day. I want to set up an area where we don't normally go and if we do, it will be a location where everybody will be looking forward to visit again after many times. Besides, if we set up a huge picnic cloth at the mall grounds and form a picnic group, we would end up in the mall's administration office for scandal and misconduct in such a public venue and become the laughing stock of the mall.


So maybe we may attempt to have a picnic simply near the river. The only obstacle is we'd end up being the mosquitoes' picnic food and obtain Dengue Fever instead of a memorable experience. Well, it shall be a very memorable experience. But of course, we don't want to recall it that way. So we are staying out anywhere near the river as well. I virtually lost the battle on setting up the ideal place where to have our picnic when it suddenly hit me. Why not go to the beach? There exists a quiet side of the beach where no person really bothers to go to. It would certainly be a great way to have an exercise as well because it'll be a spot that is not as accessible as the other beach front areas where you can just park your vehicle somewhere near.


A more secluded side would be great. Walking to and from the place would be a great way to enjoy the breeze and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. The real essence of going on a picnic is enjoying the place, the food, and the people you're with no matter where you are.
