8 Alberta Dates Every Couple Should Do Together Before Summer Is Over

Summer romance made easy.❤️
Staff Writer

You got love for your date, but sometimes figuring out what to do can be a challenge. Instead of another night of takeout and Netflix, why not spice things up? To help you start planning, here are that every couple should do together.

It doesn't matter if you are planning your first date or you've been together for years. These ideas are sure to be a day you both will cherish.

There is no need to empty your wallet on a fancy dinner and a movie. While it can be nice, there is so much more you can do together, especially while the weather is gorgeous.

Now is the time to plan to find secret swimming holes and hike to waterfalls. Or you can explore blooming gardens and fill up on juicy cherries together.

Plus, no summer would be complete without eating at least one ice cream cone together. As it isn't about how much you spend, but the quality time together that shows you care.

One thing is for sure; you'll want to have your camera ready to take some cute couple photos at all the spots below.
