Picnic in the park: How many times have you stared out your office window on a sunny S.F. day wishing you could be lounging outside? Your staycation is your chance (assuming the weather cooperates). Spend the lunch hour (or three) at a favorite park with provisions from a sandwich spot you love. Bring along some of that reading material you've had piling up. Photo: Lacy Atkins, The Chronicle
