You want date night to be memorable, but going out to eat is not always the most impressive thing you can do to amaze your prospective other. Not saying that a good meal won\u2019t warm the heart, but to make it truly noteworthy, creative thinking is in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might not want to take your date on the Hot Tub Boats<\/strong> in Seattle for the first date, but that is a consideration for later. These boats are exactly what they sound like; a hot tub that seats six in a boat floating about in Lake Union. It\u2019s a joystick-controlled motorized boat that goes a meager 5 M.P.H., which might be too fast if you\u2019re trying to balance your champagne while steering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Places that do make a good first impression on dates are places like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitsap Forest Theater \u2013 Bremerton<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is always a show at the Kitsap Forest Theater. It may not always involve people in costumes, but it will be spectacular. Walk along trails dressed in the finery of pine needles that cushion your feet and add spice to the air. The rhododendrons bloom along the trail in the springtime. And at the end of that trail?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a clearing where there\u2019s magic. It is home to the Kitsap Forest Theater whose purpose is to entertain and educate. They want people to appreciate the woodlands as much as they appreciate being entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started as just a home for the local theater soon became a destination as word spread of the performances and the secluded location surrounded by old-growth trees. This place has seen time change since the day it started in 1928; it\u2019s one of the oldest outdoor theaters in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, it\u2019s gone from a place where good theater resides to a place that welcomes visitors all year round. It supports youth camps and activities like Salmon Safari which takes kids down to the Chico Creek where they can watch the returning salmon and Adventure Camp which offers drama, hiking and the exploration of the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodeo Drive-In \u2013 Bremerton<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those seeking a date night that will be memorable, go back to the future with a movie and a tub of popcorn at the Rodeo Drive-In.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nostalgia is all the rage, and this drive-in theater captures the fun of sitting out under an open sky enjoying a first-run movie on a big screen. Treat yourself to goodies like hot dogs and corn dogs or something more substantial like a Philly Cheese Steak. The rest of the menu includes all of the usual suspects like French fries, nachos and chicken strip baskets. They even serve pizza. They will page you when your meal is ready. How\u2019s that for service?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets really busy during the summer months, so if you\u2019re planning on heading out, get there early for a good parking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your parents and grandparents had to hang heavy metal speakers on the car window, today\u2019s state-of-the-art sound system is no longer broadcast over tinny-sounding metal. It\u2019s now broadcast through your FM radio system. Some Smartphones work with their system \u2013 synchronization is an issue with a Smartphone-, but you\u2019re better off with the FM system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rodeo has been open for 73 years and even keeps the lights on when it rains. There are times when the weather does close them down, so be sure and check the schedule online before you head out. You can find them at https:\/\/www.rodeodrivein.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Get Stranded<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Date night is no night to find out that your vehicle isn’t working as it should. It\u2019s a worn-out trope about running out of gas when on a date, but it\u2019s no fun if you do run into problems while trying to make a good first impression. Before you pick up your date for your first night out, make sure that your car or truck is in top condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Check the fluids<\/li>
  • Check the tire pressure<\/li>
  • Check the hoses, belts and pumps<\/li>
  • Check your battery charge<\/li>
  • Check your lights<\/li>
  • Check your wipers<\/li>
  • Make sure you have an emergency first aid kit or roadside repair kit<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    You want your first date to be memorable because you took your date somewhere amazing, not because you left them standing on the side of the road while you waited on a tow truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Clean the Interior<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    No one wants to ride in the dirt, so before you pick up your date, pick up the vacuum and clean the interior. Get the sand and dirt up off the floor. Shake out the mats and vacuum underneath. Wipe down the dash and clean the windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are a few tricks to get the interior date ready:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Use a coffee filter to dust the interior. Coffee filter material is dust free and doesn\u2019t leave scratches. Run this across your dash and center console. Coffee filters are cheap, so keep them handy.<\/li>
    • Does the interior smell? Sprinkle baking soda over cloth seats and vacuum it up to eliminate odors in the cloth. Works on armrests and other cloth parts, too.<\/li>
    • Change the cabin air filter. A dirty air filter means that dust and pollen have been recycled throughout the cabin of your vehicle.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      If you would like, we\u2019ll be happy to go over your vehicle before the big date. Just give us a call or check online to schedule an appointment. Our ASE Certified techs will help you make a good impression, and they only use OEM replacement parts that won\u2019t let you down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Maybe your fishing truck isn\u2019t a good vehicle for a first date, unless, you\u2019re going fishing. But, if you\u2019re looking to impress, we\u2019ve got a wide selection of pre-owned vehicles that will set the date off on the right foot. Stop by and see what\u2019s new on our lot. We can sell you a new vehicle, but the rest of the date is up to you.  Kitsap Auto Outlet is located at 3555 W State Hwy 16, Port Orchard, WA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
