Toilet seats left in limbo, a lone-surviving box of
store-brand "cheezi mack" - oh, and that glassy-eyed heap on the sofa that just
so happens to share sweatpants with your sweetheart. After a week of hiding
indoors, fearing the fourth horseman of the 2011 Snowpocalypse, even the most
saccharine lovers are broiling with Cabin Fever. Guys and girls, before you
rush off to couples' counseling, why not try one of my four fun (and far
cheaper) date ideas?
Get your adrenaline pumping in a whole new vein at Andretti Indoor Karting and Games.
Challenge your lead-footed lover to a romp around the racetrack in the new
SuperKarts - which feature top speeds of 50 mph - or find a new meaning for
"wall-climbing fit" on the Cosmic Rock Wall. Need an outlet for those lofty
expectations? Take a breather at the Sky Bar then swing from the rafters on the
Extreme Ropes Course.
If the two of you prefer to take the "sweat" out of
"sweatpants", challenge your beer-swilling babe to a few rounds at Dave & Buster's. Here you'll find
classic arcade games, high-tech simulators and
a delectable drinks menu - all chillingly cheap and conveniently located near a
cushy barstool!
Prefer to be a little more hands-on with your honey? Head to
Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park and
remember, all is fair and love and (snowball) war! Grab two bunkers at Fort
Snow and fight ‘til the freeze thaws in an epic battle fit for fairytales.
Now sometimes you just have to laugh at the silly things
your sweetheart does to drive you wild - in that "Wash those filthy dishes and
surrender the remote!" way. What better place to make light of your paramour's
pet peeves than the Laughing Skull
Comedy Lounge? This gem offers the nation's best stand-up comics in an
intimate venue, providing back-room belly laughs nightly.
