the Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center. On the third Saturday of every month at 1 p.m., they host an Albany Star Sighting program. 17. Take a winetasting class. 18. From Kevin James to Aziz Ansari, lots of great comics swing through the Capital Region. Check out who’s coming to The Egg, The Comedy Works, Palace Theatre and so on, and make a night of it.
19. Dress up, get out and listen to live jazz. 20. Ride up to Lake George for a little parasailing and beach walking. 21. Monopoly, Scrabble, Sorry. Pull out some old board games and get competitive. 22. Pick a cult TV show (old or new) neither of you has ever watched; then marathon the first season on a weekend when you have nothing else to do. (Our suggestions: 24, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, Homeland, Community)
23. Ever heard of geocaching? Now you have. Check out how this outdoor treasure hunt works at geocaching.com. 24. Bike paths abound. Choose one and go for a ride together. 25. Go up, up and away in a hot air balloon. Complete with complimentary refreshments, digital pictures and ground transportation, a onehour private group balloon ride with Adirondack Balloon Flights (adkballoonflights.com) runs $275 per person. (Slightly less affordable than the rest of this list, but worth it if Pixar’s Up is your thing.) HL
