26. Get Lost On Purpose

Nowadays, everyone has a GPS on their phone, so getting “lost” shouldn’t be a very big deal. There may be a part of town that you have been curious about, but you’ve never been there before. Or maybe there is an interesting town you never explored. If your partner is down for the adventure, just pick a direction and start driving until you find somewhere interesting to go. Just don’t forget to charge your phone, because you will probably need Google Maps to get home.
