Summer Dates: Enjoy Some Good 'Clean' Fun

No matter how hot it gets this summer, you don't want the romance to cool off.

 

The weather is so hot that you don’t want to move, but that doesn’t necessarily mean your love life has to cool off completely. Thanks to the innovative minds behind thenest.com, we’ve got a summer date idea for you that can keep you cool, won’t break the bank and has the potential for getting a bit hot when all is said and done…provided you take advantage of the scene we’re setting up for you.

You and your date should don your sexiest summer duds (bikinis and Speedos are at the couple’s discretion) grab some buckets, sponges and soap, unwind that garden hose (no pun intended) and wash your cars.

Perhaps a screening of sweatiest movie ever made, "Cool Hand Luke," would be appropriate before setting to work.

At a bare minimum you’ll get to cross a chore off your list while having some fun splish-splashing together. And, who knows, throw in a bottle of wine and you may find yourselves getting a bit wet and wild.

Thanks for your support Missy. Had fun writing it. Now if I can only convince my husband to help me wash the car...

I have to say that Jennifer is not only a fun and funny person, she's a great editor and has great ideas that she really carries out every time. We had so much fun planning these summer stories and I love knowing that you liked it. We never really know if it will "play in Peoria." ;-) Thanks!

Oh gosh--I just can't imagine this ever happening in my life. Seems a little 'corny'.
