Things to Do
A Cookout: All the men I know love a good cookout, and if you can swing the work and prep, it can be something he looks forward to every year.
Make a Special Dinner For Two: He'll love some special time alone with his wife.
A Family Walk: Getting out for a walk to go look at the sights would be a great way to spend the evening. Going out into the country is even better!
