Take a relaxing bike ride through your favorite parts of town, or even bike to some new places. Maybe hit up some local bike trails for an even prettier view!

Nothing says summer than some fresh fruit. Call up your local orchard and see if they have a "Pick your own fruit" option. Its so fun, plus you get some delicious locally sourced fruit!

For those thrill seekers, a day trip to an amusement park is perfect. Screaming for your life with your S.O is a perfect way to bond on a hot summer day!

5. Outdoor Concert

Check your local community page to see if there are any local outdoor concerts coming up! You can always check Ticketmaster, or even your local radio show. Outdoor concerts are always a fun experience, and a great way to bond over music with your S.O.

6. Picnic

This may be cheesy or a bit classic, but you should do it at least once! Grab a cooler, a blanket, and some great homemade food and head to the park or the beach! Enjoy the great scenery and the company of your partner!

Depending on if you're a morning person, or a night owl, watching the sunset and rise is beautiful. Take the time to find a great spot with a clear view, grab some blankets and relax.

For those of you who have access to a beach, take advantage of it! Spend the day in the sun and sand with your partner. Have a sandcastle competition, search for seashells, and even take some fun summer pics!

9. Minor League Game

Spend the day in the stands rooting on your local Minor league players!

10. Hike

Hiking is a great way to get some exercise in, as well as enjoy the scenery of the world around you. Find some trails or state parks and hit the ground running! Hiking is a great way to get your endorphins going, why not do it with your S.O?

11. Ice Cream Crawl

This is something I've been dying to do! Plan out a course to all of your local ice cream shops/parlors and share a scoop from each place! Try a new flavor each time and see which you like the best!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
