August is to summer what Sunday is to the days of the week, so it's time to go to work on that summer bucket list. First up: Having a picnic in Millennium Park after work. Whether it's on a Tuesday movie night, Thursday jazz night, or in a couple weeks for the jazz festival, you'll want to bring a nice blanket. Read on for our favorites, and keep in mind the brighter and bolder the blanket, the easier it'll be for your friends to spot you on the lawn.—Lani Nguyen
