To make the night extra special, you can set up some pillows and blankets, dim the lights, and light some candles and turn it into a cozy picnic.

Or else rent a bike and stop at some local attractions, or try to find some hidden spots along the way. Its also a great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors.
