A Date Night Idea in Minneapolis with Meerci Picnics

My girlfriends and I wanted to do something a little different for our monthly date night! So last summer we went out on a limb and rented a picnic with Painting option from Meerci Picnics! I could not get over HOW CUTE this whole setup was. This expanding company will come set everything up for you based off your choices. Once you are done, they come back and tare it all down for you! Easy Peasy!!

I thought this would be so great for a couple or friends looking for a fun summer activity/date night!!

10 Random Facts About Your Photographer

10) I come from a large family of 7 including my parents; even though we are all loud and a little bit crazy, I can't imagine my life without them.
9) I met my husband while we both worked at our college's Museum and Gallery. I remember it perfectly because he was supposed to take over my shift but ended up horribly lost through the rooms.
8) Marcus and I both love watching a variety of movies. We have a growing DVD collection in our house, which will most likely be obsolete in 5 years.
7) One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities is Como Conservatory. My family would visit it every year and little did I know growing up, it was also the place I would marry my best friend.
6) My lucky numbers are 10 & 13.
5) I played many sports throughout high school and college, including volleyball, basketball, softball, track, and soccer. But by far my favorite is volleyball, which I still make time to play occasionally.
4) One of my crowning accomplishments is having graduated from college; never being book smart made college one of the most trying periods of my life. It was only through God's grace that it happened. 
3) I will almost always choose to sit in the sun.
2) I love baking cakes. Not only does it help me relax, but it also fuels my cupcake addiction. My favorite cupcakes I have baked recently have been Almond Cherry Cupcakes. Game changers.
1) My latest personal project has been starting a small garden in my tiny backyard. Last year, I began with a row of raspberry bushes with much success. This year I am experimenting with cucumbers, which I hope to build up to eventually grown asparagus.
