Have a Nice Vacation in USA
If you’re looking for romantic getaways where you can picnic under the stars with your special someone, USA is the answer. Either way, picnicking in special places throughout the US has become an activity of choice for many. Picnicking has quickly become an activity that encompasses tailgating and barbecuing to wine picnics in California’s wine country. They can be as deluxe or simple as you like. We’ve come up with 5 of the top picnicking areas across the US. So, whether your idea of a picnic is a family fun day at a local park or a day filled with fireworks and festivities, you can add these five places to your list of top picnicking venues.
Cumberland Islands, Georgia
Just a few hours south of Savannah, this national seashore is a picnicking paradise. It’s an unspoiled place in the Deep South with over 50 miles of hiking trails, beaches and camping. The trails are lined with trees covered in Spanish moss and since it’s still a rural area the stars line up for a spectacular show each night and creates the perfect evening star-lit romantic picnic opportunity.
Grant Park, Chicago
If you are looking for gourmet treats in Chicago and love a good picnic, Go for Taste of (a 10-day, lake-front, foodie festival that happens each year). Grab a spot near the fountain to enjoy your picnic and revel in the city and lake views to people watch and relax with family and friends. If you are there for July 4th, be sure to plan the day to include the spectacular fireworks display at the Navy Pier.
Cranberry Islands, Maine
Here, you’ll find natural picnicking with rugged island views. The Cranberry Islands are a delightful group of islands about 20 minutes offshore from Acadia National Park whose name comes from the wild low-bush cranberries that grow throughout the islands in the fall. You can visit the islands by private boat or ferry service. Bring a picnic basket along for the ride as it’s a ruggedly romantic picnic area to take your special someone or go for a family outing to visit the islands.
Red Rock Canyon, Nevada
If you happen to be in Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon and the nearby Spring Mountain Ranch State Park offer a welcome respite from the buzz of the 24 hour Vegas happenings. Situated just 19 miles west of Vegas, it’s a trip worth taking. There are plenty of picnic areas along the drive and in nearby Spring Mountain Ranch State Park which also outdoor theater and concerts in summer months.
Big Sur, California
The Point Lobos State Reserve is a small gem, and in fact has often been called “the crown jewel of the State Park System.” In addition to the coastal wildlife there are rare plant communities, interesting archeological sites, and unique geological formations. We recommend bringing binoculars, because much of the wildlife can be seen only at a distance. It’s best to arrive early because only a certain number of vehicles are allowed in the Reserve at any time during the day.

Packing For Holidays With a Baby
This may be your first vacation with your baby so packing for holidays may be a new concept to you and quite a daunting one at that. It is not hard to pack for a baby, but it will be a difficult holiday to survive if you forget your baby’s favorite blanket or toy.
This may be your first vacation with your baby so packing for holidays may be a new concept to you and quite a daunting one at that. It is not hard to pack for a baby, but it will be a difficult holiday to survive if you forget your baby’s favorite blanket or toy. Start off your packing by making a list. If you have a list, you will be able to gather all of your items and check them off as you pack them in your suitcase. You want your child to be as comfortable as possible as he or she will be traveling and in a new environment.
Here are some tips for packing for holidays with a baby:
* Pack all of the baby essentials in a carry-on bag. You should carry extra diapers and other baby essentials in your luggage, but you will need some on-hand essentials while travelling. If you prefer certain products like baby wipes and diapers from a particular brand, pack extras as the place that you are travelling to may not carry the brand you prefer.
* Remember to pack an extra set of clothes in the carry on as well. If your baby has an accident or if the luggage is lost, you will have a back up outfit for your baby (and hopefully for you too!)
* Pack any medicines that your child may be using in a plastic bag. Remember to check in this medicine in case it is a liquid form with a small travel size bottle in your carry on. There are strict rules at the airport with liquids so you do not want this medicine to be taken away.
* Use a bag with shoulder straps or a backpack to place all of these items in so that you can keep your arms free for your baby to curl up into!
* Bring along all of your baby’s favorite toys, blanket and books. You can pack the essentials in carry-on luggage and the non-essentials in your regular suitcase.
With these tips you should have a stress free break. Being as prepared as possible will make your baby feel comfortable while travelling which will inevitably make you relaxed also. Make sure you have the following items written on your packing list for holiday:
* baby blanket,
* 1 to 2 outfits per day,
* food water,
* juice and formula,
* breast pump,
* nappies,
* a night light,
* a baby sling,
* a travel cot (may be rented or available at the hotel),
* car seat (may be rented),
* nappy rash cream,
* baby wipes, hand sanitizer, washable bibs,
* a coat, a hat, gloves, scarfs and gloves for cold weather,
* sunscreen, hats and bathing suits for warm weather,
* extra dummies, tissues, baby shampoo and soap, lotion and anything else your baby needs.
This is a thorough packing list for your baby. Simply by taking the time to plan ahead and pack accordingly, you will be set for a great holiday with your family.
