It’s officially summer! It’s time to grab a blanket, pack a picnic, and head to the park an soak in the sun and high temperatures. There is nothing more relaxing than reclining on the grass and listening to the sounds of summer: kids frolicking at the pool, insects chirping, wind caressing the grass, and music softly wafting from your car. Take a break and truck it to the nearest park or pool to enjoy some summer lounging.
