When I think of my favorite picnic scene, my mind always wanders to the opening sequence of Disney and Pixar’s “Up”. The cutest animated couple walks up the grassy hill to that shady spot under a tree with a basket full of goodies and their checkered blanket to enjoy each other’s company and find shapes in the clouds. It is the picture perfect picnic and got me thinking about my favorite picnic spots to check out in Loudoun. Here are just a few on my list:

Algonkian Regional Park

Crooked Run Brewing has a great patio and they encourage guests to bring picnics while hanging out and enjoying brews from the LoCo Ale Trail! Watch out for Logan, the brewery dog!
