A Sweet Picnic Date

In an effort to bask in the early warm days of spring back in March, I decided to whisk my husband away after work for a special date.  Since one of our favorite things about living in the DC area was frequent picnicking, I thought that would be a great plan.  So I hit up the grocery store and picked up some favorite foods and prepped our beautiful picnic basket:

Fresh mozzarella, apples, chevre, cheddar, melba toasts, salami, and bread from Breadworks

I hid the picnic basket in the trunk and picked my husband up at work.  I told him we were going for a special surprise and didn't tell him where - we headed to the park near CMU, where plenty of CMU students had also headed out to enjoy the new spring weather!

The flowering trees in Schenley park and on CMU's campus were just gorgeous!  I had a great time photographing them.

My husband loved this date - he felt special, I felt special, and we had a wonderful, sun-splashed afternoon!  I highly recommend the surprise picnic as a date - it's a great way to make someone feel very loved.
