Relationship Thursday: New Date Ideas

Date night (or day) is right around the corner. Finding new and creative things to do with your partner can be tough. If you're as sick as dinner and movie as I am, try one of these spring date ideas from hotdateideas.com.

• Plan a trip to your local state park for some mountain biking, hiking, or rock climbing. Pack some snacks and a blanket and have a romantic picnic when you're done.
• With all the beautiful spring flowers starting to bloom, take a drive out to the country for a picnic, visit a botanical garden, or tour a local flower farm.
• Get dirty planting some flowers or fruits and veggies. (You'll have fun doing and and in a couple of weeks you'll actually get to enjoy the "fruits" of your labor.)

And as always, here are a few ideas of my own:

• If your guy is as crazy about sports as mine is, head to a baseball game. You get to enjoy the spring air and enjoy a hot dog and maybe even a beer.
• If you have a pet, grab the leash and take him/her (the dog not your lover :) to a dog park or a dog friendly beach.
• Visit a local pottery place and paint your own pottery. If you're in the New Haven area, one of my favorite places is Fired Up! in Branford. You can BYOB and paint some great pieces. It's super fun!!

So there you have it.......grab the dog leash or baseball glove and have a blast!
