Summer is finally here, and as the weather continues to warm and the daylight stretches even later, it's the perfect season to spend quality time soaking in the sun outside with loved ones. And what better way to do that than with a picnic?
LoveFood searched around the country for the "most scenic picnic spots" in every state, gorgeous destinations to lay out a blanket, crack open a basket full of your favorite summertime treats, and enjoy a meal with friends and family.
According to the site, the top spot in all of Washington is Deception Pass State Park in Oak Harbor. With relaxing views of the surrounding natural beauty, this place is the perfect backdrop for a memorable picnic.
Here's what the site had to say about this beautiful Evergreen State spot:
"Spread across two rugged, forested isles (northern Fidalgo and southern Whidbey), Deception Pass State Park is a salt-sprayed balm for the soul. There are picnic benches under towering Douglas fir trees, but the best spot for views of Deception Pass Bridge and the blue-grey bay is on the beach. Find the most comfortable driftwood log and feel like you've stumbled across the edge of the world."
