What do you pack for a picnic at a cemetery?
Okay. I should probably back up. For Mother’s Day, I took my mother to a cemetery for a picnic. This is not a hint to my mother that she has one foot in the grave and not a me being dramatic and exaggerating the truth. The truth is, I did take my mother to a cemetery. The cemetery in question is about an hour away and is the cemetery that hold the remains of the first generation of our family in America. Pretty exciting stuff if you are interested in family history/ genealogy. Since the cemetery is about an hour a way, it makes sense to bring a picnic and refreshment, which bring me back to my original question.
What do you pack for a picnic at a cemetery?
Do you go full funeral meal and bring cold salads and finger food? Do you liven it up and play off a Halloween theme? Do keep it to traditional picnic food? These questions rolled around in my head, until I did a mash up of all three.
