The other night Ben and I were out for dinner. Since our son is still small, we take him with us because he's not really a distraction and is really good in restaurants. I realize that this will change at some point! While we were at dinner, we both thought of ideas for dates we could go on and wrote them down. We did this recently with our menu too so that we could go through our list to keep from having the same thing every night. It has worked there, so why not try a "Date Idea List?" By the way, any idea was written down even if it didn't sound like something the other would want to do.
Here are some ideas we came up with:
- go to a park
- bowling
- learn to dance (a local restaurant has free salsa lessons every weekend--if you know me, you're amazed that this was my idea)
- ride go-carts
- go to the theater (this could even be a local high school play)
- museums (they are usually free in this area on Thursday nights)
- concerts by local people at a local hang out
- check the newspaper or online for free entertainment 
- roller skating (my friend and I do stroller skating on Thursday mornings with other moms, so there are still rinks out there)
- roller skating (my friend and I do stroller skating on Thursday mornings with other moms, so there are still rinks out there)
- camping (he's been wanting to stay in a tee-pee at Turner Falls)
- horseback riding
- picnic (we have done this quite a few times and it really is fun)
- theme park
- rock climbing wall
This was a good idea because we were coming up with some cheap ways to stay connected (although we haven't done any of the activities yet). Handprints On the Wall came up with some cheap dates too!
Kama, I'd love to know where you go stroller skating in North Texas? Sounds really fun.
ReplyDeleteMy son really likes the picture in your post:) Where was it taken?
ReplyDeleteWe love to picnic. It's so easy to pick up cheese, bread and grapes to take. Or a bucket of fried chicken. And if feels romantically old-fashioned!
ReplyDeleteWe have been going through all my grandma's pics and we have found TONS from their days at Turner Falls. Looked like they were having fun!
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas in there. I haven't bowled in ages!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have had some great date nights at our church. our best date was a free dinner and a comedy show. We still talk about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your WFMW tip.
Before we were married, my husband and I did a go-cart race and it was a BLAST! I really like this list =)
