Picturesque Picnic Spot

There's no better way to spend an afternoon than picnicking in Golden Gate National Recreation Area on a beautiful day. Get some local wine, maybe pick up some locally-made cheeses and you're set for a memorable, relaxing time surrounded by both gorgeous, ancient trees and the soothing waves of the nearby ocean.
