Date-night Dos
I've found that one of the best ways for us to stay in sync is to
make date night happen once a week. I'm not talking about laundry on
Wednesday night when we both lug our clothes down to the Wash 'n Dry.
I'm talking about "set the Tivo and do something completely out of the
ordinary" date night.
Some of our most successful dates include
Scrabble and spaghetti night; wine bar and live jazz night; and of
course, the old staple, dinner and indie movie night (the trick is
instead of going to the theater around the corner, we go to the
independent movie theater to catch a flick that no one else is talking
about).
We're always looking for fresh ideas to keep it fun, so I was excited when I stumbled upon this book, 102 Great Dates for Any Budget
in our office library. Some ideas are a little more obvious than others
(Mexican food night? We do that every week), but a few of them caught
my eye.
My favorite: The Arcade Date. Fill your pockets with
quarters and mosey on down to the local mall or amusement park arcade
gallery. Play pinball, race cars, and try your hand at Skee-Ball. Order
up the cheesiest nachos, juiciest hot dogs, and an extra large Cherry
Coke.
Have other good date-night ideas? Share 'em with me!
