I do the painting classes often and have them hanging in the house. I love them
. It's not exactly a cheap night out though unless you manage to find a Groupon or Living Social deal. Otherwise it can run you close to $100 (when you account for 2 paintings + appetizers + wine to take to the studio).
My husband and I signed up for the Race the Landing series at Charles Towne Landing this year. It was just over $200 for both of us. 5 races = 5 Thursday night date nights. They have food afterwards and door prizes. We're both active people though, so we're into it.
