Watch the sun set...then go stargazing

How long has it been since you’ve watched the sun set? Or laid back and peered up at the stars? Stargazing is an uber-romantic activity for two (even the word itself is synonymous with swooning), whether you have binoculars or not (but if you do have them, even better). Pick a clear evening to snuggle in the grass in your yard or a local park -- or to lie on your roof with blankets and pillows. Google and download a guide to the constellations, and -- once the sun sets -- make a game out of identifying them. Keep an eye out for shooting stars!
