We did the picnic and it was by far one of the best family meals we had. We received our food and found a little spot off the beaten path and just took some time to eat at a leisurely pace. It was nice to let the kids (6 and 4) be as loud as they wanted and eat at their speed. In all, it was a really good experience and we look forward to doing it again.
ps. Sometimes you get wrapped up in doing and seeing everything possible in the time you have and you miss the things that are closest to you.
