San Diego, San Jose, and More!

by Ron Z

This was a busy weekend for us.

We added new activities for the San Jose and San Diego areas, including sporty activities such as basketball, volleyball, and tennis. For you romantics out there, we added dozens of areas where you can set up a picnic for your date/outing. And for those looking for a little fun, we added some new places where you can go fly kites and play a game of frisbee.

We have also added a new feature to our date planning page which will allow you to browse all activities through a drop down menu. So for instance, when you select a fun date theme, all of the fun activities will be populated into the drop down and you can skip directly to them (as opposed to searching through all of the tabs and the sub-menu). We hope this makes navigating our site a little easier, but if you have any feedback, please let us know. We will be incorporating the drop down menu to the local planning section by the end of the day.
