We all know this situation on weekends: The sun is shining and the birds are singing so it’s the perfect time to do a trip with friends or family. But where should you go? How about a picnic at this beautiful lake in this nice little town you were a few years ago? Or how about this cute art café with the delicious chocolate cappuccino you were last year? But how was the cafè called? You can’t remember the name of the little town either not to mention finding this perfect picnic spot at the lake you were last time.
“PerfectWeekend” can help! Everytime you find a perfect spot that you want to visit again in the future, just add it to “PerfectWeekend” by taking a photo and adding a short title. You can even add longer notes if you want to!
