Please keep reading to find out more about Never a Dull Date and get inspired for your next date night!

This summer has been the hottest I can ever remember in Southwestern Ontario. With multiple days at a time over 40 Celsius (that’s 104 Fahrenheit) we are getting plenty of time to get out and enjoy the sun. This past weekend’s forecast was as hot and humid as ever so we decided to take advantage of a relaxing day at the beach.

After the success of our cooking class date I was really excited when Ashley suggested another class offered by the LCBO titled ‘An Evening of Premium Scotches’. I, like many people, really enjoy a nice drink. Whether it’s celebrating with Champagne or a cold beer on a hot day, alcohol is refreshing and a sign of relaxation and enjoyment. Despite my affinity for alcohol, I am not big Scotch drinker so I knew I’d have a lot to learn from this date night.

To completely counter a hectic work week, we decided to spend Sunday afternoon at much slower pace, and made an afternoon tea date at the prestigious Fairmont Royal York in Toronto.

I have always loved the theatre! I studied dance throughout my childhood and even though I’ve long since left it behind, I’ve always loved going to see live performances. I love the music, the costumes, the dancing and the contagious energy! While Adam hasn’t always shared my love for it, he has always allowed me to drag him along. That’s why I was so excited when he suggested getting tickets to see Rock of Ages for a date night at the theatre.

Paris, France – the most romantic city in the world. Known for it’s culture, cuisine, history and wine, Paris also has gorgeous gardens located throughout the city. Whether its the Jardin du Luxembourg, the Tuileries, or Champ de Mars overlooking the Eiffel Tower, amid the bustling city lie these lush green spaces that are frequented by tourists and Parisians alike. Perfect for strolling, people watching or a quiet picnic, this week’s date idea is inspired by the Paris gardens and the people who frequent them.

We talk about being Canadian quite bit on here, but it seems even more appropriate to mention it when the seasons are changing. In southern Ontario, May is the first month where we can reliably expect temperatures to go up and the sun to come out. It’s wonderful to shed some of those layers and get back outside. One of our favourite things to do on a hot day is find a sunny patio and make a happy hour date.
