July is in full swing and with the beautiful San Diego weather, it’s no secret that there are hundreds of parks to visit! Thanks to the National Bakers’ Association, we recognize July as National Picnic Month. Plus, the sun is finally out in San Diego so seasonal fruits and vegetables make eating outdoors so much easier!
From the coast to the mountains, all destinations offer different attractions. Some are by the water, whether thats the beach, a lake or water park; Some provide playgrounds and even hiking trails. So load up the basket, get out of the house and check out some of our favorite picnic destinations.
