First Friday isn't all about the art.  There are vendors, street performers, and food trucks that add to this art inspired date.

Relationship Tip!  It can be easy to forget the beautiful and unique qualities of our spouse that attracted us to them in the first place.  Paint for your spouse, using your words,  a portrait of why they are one of kind and special to you.  

It's Showtime!

When was the last time you took your sweetheart to a good 'ol fashioned drive-in movie?  Did you even know they still existed?   Well they do at the West Wind Drive-in Theater in Glendale, AZ.  Family owned and operated since 1952, the West Wind will not only give you a great movie watching experience but will take you back to a "unique and historic slice of Americana."

This modern drive-in is equipped with the largest digital projectors available and the newest sound technology that can tap right into your car radio for your listening and watching enjoyment.

Relationship Tip:  It's nice to mix it up a little and bring some life to the mundane by changing the way you do things.  Try to do this on your next date.  Take an activity that you both enjoy and be creative with it, like watching a movie at a drive-in instead of an indoor theater!
