celebrating the end-of-the-week with an end-of-the-summer picnic

there's nothing nicer than laying in the grass, feeling the sun warm your skin, while at the same time a breeze to cool you down. the perfect equilibrium, and one of my favorite ways to relax ---->> that does not describe this picnic! with all this rain we've had in the carolinas lately, the grass was quite wet. we'd only taken a few bites of our lunch before the water had soaked through our blanket, our pants, and onto our skin. so we moved it over to a bench. but... it was still a lovely afternoon.

for our picnic, we decided to try out a restaurant downtown we had yet to visit--sassafras. [we have a goal to try something new every time we go out to eat.] so we grabbed some wraps and coupled it with fresh fruit. for a drink, i chose deer park® brand nature’s blends™ fruit flavored beverages, going with the lemon-mint flavor. the flavors were delicious together, and it was perfect on such a warm and humid afternoon. lemon-mint.. doesn't it just sound refreshing!?

hope you guys have had a great week! how do you plan on celebrating the weekend? share your story on deer park®'s facebook page and read how other people are celebrating too!
