Where to Picnic This Summer in the Hill Country
TEXAS HIGHWAYS June 1, 2023
Scenic parks and natural areas make this region of the state ideal for al fresco dining
I RECENTLY INTRODUCED the term “sack lunch” to my young grandchildren for a park outing. They were so impressed, you’d think I told them I’d invented fire. They spent an evening decorating brown paper bags, then stuffed them with lunch items for our picnic. They proudly clutched those bags as we filed toward the van the next day. I was equally pleased since I would avoid the time and expense of the busy drive-through line.
There’s something about picnics that make you feel like a kid again. Whether at a nearby park or while on a long day drive, picnics are also a great alternative to the usual fare you find on the road (sorry, beef jerky and kolaches).
