Outdoor Movie Night
Set up a projector and screen, and create your own outdoor movie theater. No worries, if you don’t have a projector and screen, bring a small screen outdoors or a portable device if weather permits. Choose a romantic movie or a favorite classic, and make some popcorn and snacks to enjoy while you cuddle up under a blanket.
