Go to the Beach
Lying on the sand in silence does not a good date make, so surprise her by punching things up a little to make the afternoon more fun (and interactive). Paddle tennis, a Frisbee and Wiffle ball will give you plenty of fun activities to break up the time between dips in the water and catching rays on land. Plus, something as simple as a portable radio (or iPod or whatever the kids are using) can really change the mood and make for a more fun atmosphere. Pack a cooler with snacks and lots of cold light beer
to round out your day on the water. Don’t forget the sunscreen.
