Do you need some thrilling ideas for girls’ night out, date night, or your day with your family this spring or summer? Here are 5 wicked ideas for you, and guess what? You can even do them solo if you need some “me” time.
- Road Tripping
Are you ready to get out on the open road? Explore the undiscovered nearby towns and stop in for a coffee at the local watering hole. Along your journey, head to roadside attractions you have been dying to grab a picture at. There is so much charm to experience on a road trip, even the short ones. You may just come across an unexpected spot like an abandoned house full of owls. Road trips always give you some great stories to tell everyone when you get back.
2. Fruit Picking
Nothing is as delicious as fresh fruit picked right off a tree. Do you love biting into freshly picked berries? Head to one of the many local farms like Saskatoon Farm that offers a u-pick to savour some in-season deliciousness. You will be happy to shop at some local artisan booths or have some lunch on the beautiful outdoor patio at the cute restaurant. It will surely be a day to remember after tasting some of the farm-fresh concoctions. Many of the u-pick locations are only a short distance outside the city of Calgary. Your day in the sun will be rewarded with buckets full of fresh berries to enjoy when you get home!
3. Food Trucking
Spring and summer weather brings out all the food trucks. The whole food truck craze started in L.A. sometime during 2008. People fell in love with the unique concept of delicious restaurant-quality food from a travelling truck. Food trucks often gather together to offer foodies a variety of ethnic options all in one place. Support each of the favourite trucks by having a drink from one, main bites from others, and dessert from a mini dounught truck. A community of foodies and a community of love are brought together when the food trucks come out.
If you live in Calgary, head to YYC Food Trucks to make sure you don’t miss the next epic night of food trucking!
4. Drive-In Night
Take in a show at The Big Art Drive-In at Telus Spark. You can watch drive-in movies like they did in “Grease”, all cuddled up next to your loved one. Telus Spark also offers live awe-inspiring musicals and theatrical performances. This is a creative way to enjoy the arts from the comfort of your vehicle. Remember to bring some delicious snacks or make an order from the concession people who walk by your car. This is the perfect cozy setting for a fun night out.
The stage is set, and the show is about to go on…
5. House Hunting
Whether you are looking to buy a new home, want to get some ideas for that renovation you are about to do or just want to see some fun décor ideas, house hunting is perfect for this! Looking at show homes throughout your city allows you to see what colours can make a room pop, give you an idea for a fun bathroom remodelling, or even just allow you to view a world of décor. Looking at houses lets you explore new communities and new trends in the housing industry. You can have a giggle to yourself at what you like or dislike or snicker to your loved one about the many wacky elements in the house.
Art and exploration come alive when you hop from show home to show home, and the best part is it is completely free!
Life is worth living to the fullest so take time to make every moment an amazing adventure! 🙂
