<div id="c3be0912bb716eee4ca644c1dfc4ecde4"></div>Sometimes we get stuck in a routine of doing the same old, same old, whether it’s with dating or just our everyday lives. There’s plenty of different things to do out in the Tampa Bay area that will give us a variation of what we are used to. Why not recreationally throw axes at wooden boards with your significant other? Why not get some anger and frustration out by smashing things in a controlled environment? You might think that sounds weird, but it has become all the rage here in Tampa. And bonus—most of them are indoor fun, so it's also a great way to beat the heat.
Check out some of these places if you want to break out your adventurous side!
