Date Plan ② - Pickup Truck Picnic Date
If you or your person is the proud owner of a pickup truck, you’ve probably found all the useful ways to utilize your truck bed. Hauling brush, moving loads, and letting your favorite pup ride along, to name a few.
Here’s a new function that will impress your person and create some quality time - a pickup truck picnic. Find a scenic spot to park, then enjoy each other’s company and a cute picnic together.
