Bid adieu to that boring ol’ room service club sandwich. Today’s luxury and chic boutique hotels are serving Home Alone style sundae kits. Yes, the exact nostalgic, over-the-top ice cream situation Kevin McCallister built in his bathrobe, can be brought right to your room, alongside caviar carts and martini trolleys. We’re talking on-call mixology masters, bath butlers, and some hotels even send up sunrise breakfast baskets or deliver a guitar to your door so someone can play campfire songs from the comfort of your bed. These setups are made for the travel moments when you’d rather stay in, slip into matching robes, and turn the evening into a grown-up sleepover with champagne, face masks, and a movie playing in the background.  And after a day of touring a new town with friends, sometimes the dreamiest plan is no plan at all. Just everyone piled into the room, relaxing, catching up and letting room service do the entertaining.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite spots to explore the great outdoors, maybe do a little crafting and enjoy time with friends old and new. Oh, and there’s wine, people.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown

As long as the weather’s good, a picnic is always the right idea. It’s a wonderful—and inexpensive!—reminder that you can transform anywhere with a view into a temporary café on a blanket.

We seem to be busier with each passing year, so any opportunity we have to take a moment and appreciate what the world has to offer is keen. Across the United States, there are endless spaces that invite a picnic, from local parks to national ones.
