MY MOST RECENT SAVVY SOURCE ARTICLE DISCUSSES PICNIC LOCATION IDEAS IN ATLANTA. Honestly, it was difficult to narrow down the list. Of course there are the standard spots everyone uses, but I took a look at the parks and hidden gems, too. With this crazy temperature streak I looked for shade. That was one of my top criteria. You can laugh, but you won’t be laughing long if the spot you want to sit in all afternoon is 110 degrees.

Picnics involve some prior planning. It’s something I haven’t perfected. Sometimes…just sometimes…I find a great day, bring some good healthy nibbles, and get a moment ‘right’. Go ahead an buy some foods you can throw together in a hurry. The kids will be shocked and amazed. That’s a good reaction in the summertime!

Where do you like to picnic? Any hints about how to keep the kids entertained in the heat?
