Anniversary Picnic

This post brought to you by World Market . All opinions are 100% mine.

A few weeks ago World Market asked me to try out their summer picnic products for their summer getaway challenge.  The timing was perfect  because this past weekend Brad and I headed out of town to celebrate our second wedding anniversary, which is tomorrow, but more on that later.  We figured a picnic would be perfect because where we stayed has beautiful grounds.  So we found an area under some trees near a creek to set up shop.

Everything, excluding the cutting board and grapes, was purchased at World Market– even the food and champagne.  I love the white and orange picnic blanket, which rolls up, and the insulated picnic basket.– perfect for picnics or taking chilled food to cookouts or tailgates.

I grabbed some non-perishable cheese and salami (perfect for a picnic), crackers, and artichoke spread.  I also picked up two plastic champagne flutes, also great for a picnic.  And an anniversary picnic isn’t complete with champagne to fill those flutes.  If you didn’t know, World Market has a great wine and beer selection.  I must have spent 15 minutes trying to decide what to get.

Because we all know bugs are an issue at picnics and cookouts, I bought a collapsible food tent, which easily fit in the picnic basket.  Serisously, whoever invented these is a genius.  I’m going to go back to WM and buy some more.

All in all it was a great picnic, minus the crazy humidity and a few bugs.
