A Picnic in December

A Sunday picnic and drive along the California coast seemed like a perfect getaway from our busy holiday and work schedules.  So, we got up early, packed a lunch for two, and planned a three-hour drive along the scenic California coastline.

Our vintage style picnic included the following items.

  • A wicker picnic basket with plates, utensils, napkins and drinking cups
  • Two homemade turkey & provolone cheese sandwiches
  • Two slices of homemade cranberry tart
  • Two slices of spinach pie
  • A small jar of gingerbread cookies 
  • Two small jars filled with peanuts, walnuts and raisins.
  • Vintage Coca Cola and Dr. Pepper soda bottles we purchased from a local market
  • An outdoor picnic blanket
  • An umbrella
  • Jackets, sweaters, gloves and knit caps
  • And finally an itinerary of our drive and picnic destination
Sometimes, a simple picnic with a short scenic drive is all you need to have a relaxing day!
