One of my favorite spring date ideas! Most cities will put on a spring festival where you can enjoy music, food, and tents full of things to buy. It might get pricey if you buy, but if you just go there to look, you won’t spend a thing.

Go to the Beach

Studies have shown that couples who serve together are happier, healthier, and less depressed. So, spend your time helping the less fortunate in your area. A friend of mine spent a whole day just mowing people’s yards for free.

Go to a Drive-in Movie
