1. Go to a waterpark. Pack a swimsuit in the morning and meet at the waterpark after work. Most waterparks offer evening discounts. Charge down the water slides or simply relax as you float down the lazy river together. Find a nearby waterpark
2. Rent a boat or paddle boat. Take a sunset ride around a lake. As the stars come out, let yourselves “float on the moonlit water and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the lake” float on the moonlit water and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the lake. Find boats for rent
3. Go stargazing. Before the sun sets, pack a blanket and take a scenic drive out of town until you’ve found a spot far away from the city lights. Spread the blanket over the hood of your car and turn the radio low as you take in the warm nighttime air and the stars above. See when the sun sets
4. Go city light gazing. Stake out a private spot on a nearby mountain or rooftop and “watch the city transform from sunlit buildings to twinkling lights” watch the city transform from sunlit buildings to twinkling lights as the sun sets behind you. Find out when twilight begins
5. See a midnight movie. Movie theatres are notorious for blasting cold air, so beat the nighttime heat with a late night movie and snack. If the outdoors has cooled off, some areas offer outdoor movie screenings on inflatable big screens. See local movie times
6. Hit the ice skating rink. Lace up and try not to pull each other down as you skate hand in hand around the rink. “The cold air will make you feel like it’s December in September” The cold air will make you feel like it’s December in September, and the games in the video arcade will make you feel like a kid again. If your man is resistant, tell him this is how Rocky stole Adrienne’s heart. Find an ice rink
7. Catch a concert. Take advantage of the summer music scene and enjoy an outdoor concert under the stars. Check out your local newspaper for free concerts by local bands or splurge on a your favorite larger act when they swing through town. These are particularly fun during the workweek when you can break your routine. See concert schedules
