If you’ve been waiting for the perfect day to take your honey or little ones on a picnic, here it is. The Mint’s fourth annual Party in the Park offers you a chance to peep the museum’s permanent collection, grab some noms from food trucks, hear live music (the Mike Strauss Band) and then at dusk, chill out on your blanket to a movie (The Sandlot). A great way to chill out during the workweek and remember what life is really about. (Kim Lawson)
