My thoughts are turning more and more towards spring and summer. Maybe it's a touch of spring fever. Growing up in San Diego, I never really experienced the fever until recent years spent in Virginia. And this year the symptoms are even stronger than ever. So naturally, I'm thinking more about being outside and to me that means picnics.
My son and I had our first picnic of 2010 just last week-end. It really wasn't much of a picnic we were on the back deck but we were excited just to be outside and not freezing.
One of my favorite picnic spots though just happens to be in a Virginia state park.
Designated as Prince William County’s Most Scenic Spot by a newspaper reader’s poll, Leesylvania State Park exceeds its well deserved reputation. Located just thirty miles south of Washington D. C. and situated on the shores of the mighty Potomac River, Leesylvania is a breathtaking picnicking location.
You can enjoy scenic views of the river from abundant picnic tables in the park’s designated picnic area. The picnic area at Leesylvania offers lots of parking, a fun playground for the children and a shady, quiet respite for all from the busy world.
Free standing grills are located in each of the secluded picnic sites and you will immediately notice the delicious smell of barbecue on warm summer days.
The park also offers picnic shelter rentals for groups wishing to reserve a space in advance. The shelters are very clean and offer a unique location for special events and picnics.
Some park visitors also enjoy hiking the numerous trails in the park and having a relaxing lunch on a trail-side bench.
I often take my lunch to the sandy beach area and watch the birds and boats along the Potomac River.
So start planning your special outings now and wherever you choose to picnic in this beautiful park I am sure you will make memories that will last a lifetime.
