Classic, and maybe a little obvious, but still a great choice. Go to the beach as a couple. Go for a walk on the beach, find some seashells, stop and build the most spectacular sandcastle ever, play some catch or beach volleyball, and wrap up your day by watching the sun set, holding hands.

Hot weather? Cool down by soaking each other in a water gun fight. As an added plus, you can burn off some extra calories with all that running around.

Old-fashioned kites may not seem as exciting as they used to in a world with modern video game consoles, but we think they’re underrated. Keep the tradition alive with an inexpensive kite from a toy store (or, if you’re feeling creative, try building one from scratch!). Fly your kite in an open field, a park, or a schoolyard.
 
 
 
5. Go For A Car Picnic
