Summer is here and it is a perfect time to start planning some outdoor activities for you and your partner. Depending on the time of day, you may even get to enjoy some fireworks with your outdoor excursion. Here you will find a list of ideas for you and your partner to enjoy this summer.
Go to the Beach
Here in Florida, we have to start with the beach. Plan a picnic and enjoy a relaxing day with your partner or take a dip and enjoy local restaurants. Whether it is for a few hours or for the day, the beach makes for a great summer activity.
Attend an Outdoor Concert
Summer is the time for live music! With artists like Janet Jackson, Train, Dan, and Shay with Jake Owen, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Imagine Dragons, Luke Bryan, and Creed with Three Doors Down coming to the iThink Financial Amphitheater, there is a little something for everyone to enjoy.
Visit a Local Brewery
South Florida is home to many breweries. Opt for outdoor seating to enjoy the summer air with your partner. Many breweries feature live music, so be sure to check online for your local brewery’s schedule to enjoy some live music with a drink and some quality time with your partner.
Adventure to a Botanical Garden or Local Zoo
Botanical gardens and zoos are an educational way to enjoy the outdoors. Living in South Florida, there are plenty of places to choose from. The Morikami Museum in Delray Beach is a great destination for fellow nature lovers who have an interest in the Japanese cultural experience. The museum features a building modeled after a Japanese villa, and a cafe to grab a bite after exploring the gardens. Another big attraction is The Palm Beach Zoo and a local favorite, Lion Country Safari.
See a Drive-In Movie
Enjoy a change of pace by trading in your bed or couch for a comfortable spot in your car, with your choice of comfort items and snacks. And the best part? No need to wear that oversized hoodie to sneak in your snacks.
No matter what activity you choose to do with your partner this summer, take the time to enjoy each other’s company. Dr. John Gottman says that “everything positive you do in your relationship is foreplay.”
If you find yourself struggling to pick an activity, pick out your favorites from this list (feel free to add a few of your own), and take turns choosing an activity and planning the date.
