Make Your<br />
Summer Dates<br />
HOT!<br />
By: Luis Marroquin<br />
Yard Sales<br />
With summer temperatures soaring,<br />
there’s no better way to beat the heat<br />
than getting up and starting your<br />
day early. Yard sales typically start<br />
before 9 a.m., so get there right when<br />
they begin before all the good stuff’s<br />
gone . Rummaging through someone<br />
else’s stuff may seem strange at<br />
first, but you’ll likely find all sorts<br />
of items to laugh about together, or<br />
something that brings up a special<br />
memory. And, you never know,<br />
you might find something great for<br />
your home at an incredible bargain.<br />
What’s more romantic than saving<br />
money?<br />
Outdoor Movie Night<br />
Movies are everyone’s kind of “last<br />
resort” date option, but summer is<br />
when the big, exciting blockbusters<br />
come out. Give yourself a break and<br />
get out of the heat by taking in a matinee<br />
instead of the standard Friday<br />
night appointment. For something a<br />
little different, check your local paper<br />
for public outdoor screenings of<br />
classic movies. Lots of metropolitan<br />
areas do it, and all you usually need<br />
are a blanket and a snack.<br />
State Fair<br />
The state fair is great for so many<br />
reasons. The gluttonous food oddities,<br />
the corny but yeah OK kind of<br />
scary haunted houses, and terrifying<br />
rides that look like they’ll break at<br />
any second. Best of all, it only comes<br />
once a year and now is usually the<br />
time. Going together is likely to<br />
bring back childhood memories, and<br />
that’s always a good thing. Split a<br />
deep fried pizza (or whatever they’re<br />
doing), play some rigged carnival<br />
games and enjoy an evening together<br />
on the midway.<br />
