Where's The Best Picnic Spot In Town?

Today is far too nice a day to spend inside...so what will you be up to?

I'm a fairly outdoorsy person—I succumb to cabin fever pretty quickly—and the first really warm weekend of the spring is always my favorite, because it offers a great excuse for one of my other favorite things: picnicking. Spend an hour whipping up some sandwich fixings and a couple salads (or buying them at the grocery store), toss them in a backpack with a blanket, hop on your bikes and off you go! The devil, of course, comes in where to take your posse. Beard's Plaisance? Bohemian Flats? Irvine Park in St. Paul?

So on this gorgeous, 60-plus-degree day, where will you be headed? What outdoor fun would you recommend, either in Southwest Minneapolis or elsewhere? Put a pin on the Google Map and show us where you'll be chilling on this hot day.
