20 Summer Date Night Ideas That Cost Less Than $20

When summer comes around, it feels like everything is about the kids. Summer camps, school, and playdates make our schedules seem too packed to do much else. But the hot weather is also the perfect time to plan out some summer dates with your main squeeze, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. There are tons of summer date night ideas out there, and many of them involve staying at home. I, for one, need to get out of the house once in awhile and that’s why this list is all about getting away from the kids and spending some one on one time with your spouse. They all cost less than $20 and I hope you love them as much as we do!
