So Labor Day weekend is coming up and I found this article and fell in love with these ideas. All of these ideas cost little money but have the potential for great romance. I love the last idea the best, considering I am dating someone from the town I grew up in, I can’t imagine anything more romantic than going around as adults exploring our past!

Here are some of my own thoughts as well.

Estate Sale–I thought we could add go to an Estate Sale as well, these are so much fun and the whole idea of finding a treasure just makes your day exciting.

Picnic in the park- bring a soft blanket and a football to play catch. Also, a nice bottle of wine to enjoy the sunset, snuggled on the blanket!

Skinny Dipping in the lake- This seems a little dangerous, but that is what makes it so fun! Just have enough control to not get too close and experience the freedom of a naked body swimming free with the fish and a body of water so much bigger than your bath tub!

Here are more ideas! Everyone should have something romantic, fun and cheap to do this weekend!

Check Out the Flea Market- He may hate to shop, but he’ll end up thanking you if you drag him to a flea market. There’s something for everyone and plenty of things you never knew existed — you might even discover he has a hobby or weird collection you didn’t know about!

Explore a Local Farm- Spend the day picking fruit at a local farm, either one-on-one or with a few couples you know — the more the merrier. Once you’ve picked all the apples you can carry back to the car, get creative in the kitchen and think up some recipes with the fruit you picked. Judge each other’s creations, Top Chef style.

Take a Trip to a Local Winery- The easiest way to booze it up on the cheap? Take a tour of a winery or brewery, and pick up some wine facts for your next dinner party while getting tipsy.

Ride a Bike- Rent bikes — a tandem one, if you’re adventurous — and go for a long ride through the park. Pack a few sandwiches and plenty of water for a picnic, or just grab hot dogs from a stand when you’re ready for a break.

Browse Works of Art- Have pretentious conversations about art at a local show. You’ll find them going on all year at community centers, schools, and libraries — you might even find a great piece of art to add to your home. Also check out a local craft bazaar or art gallery for inspiration.

Revisit Your Past- Travel back in time and reminisce. If you or your guy still live close to where you grew up, give each other a tour of your childhoods. Grab a camera and take pictures of your all-grown-up selves as you visit each landmark.
