It’s Romance Awareness Month, and this month I’m blogging about all things romance. Going out for a candlelight dinner for two is always romantic, but what about shaking things up a bit? Go for something off-the-beaten path. Here are five alternatives to the candlelight dinner for two.
1. Cuddle up for a night-time picnic. We’ve all had picnic lunches at the park, or by the lake, but what about at night? Put together a simple picnic basket, with cheeses, fruit, a crusty bread, wine or champagne, and of course chocolate. Toss down a blanket at your favorite park, or better yet, in your own backyard. If it’s chilly, cuddle up and listen to the night sounds and gaze at the stars.
2. Enjoy a beach bonfire built for two. After a romantic dinner out, have desert on the beach next to a roaring fire. S’mores are perfect. Be sure to check local laws. Nothing is less romantic than spending a night in jail.
3. If you’re lucky enough to live on the water and have a boat, take the boat out and drop anchor. Dine on your favorite portable foods like fried chicken, potato salad, and chocolate cake. If you don’t have a boat, a dock will do just fine.
4. Up on the roof. If you live in a city high-rise, dine on the roof, with the lights of the city spread out around you, and the sounds of traffic far below.
5. Take in an outdoor concert. Many concerts in the park allow patrons to bring food, so pack a cooler and a blanket for a little dancing beneath the stars.
