Date night

[Mama Spike 144]

Date night with my husband used to surround food and cocktails. Last night we went to the movies but we were talking about what to do after the movie. We couldn't figure out what to do that didn't surround food or cocktails so we went home. Any thoughts?

Try doing something afterwards. Me and my husband do movie and bowling or pool the same night. Bowling also gets you moving a bit

I lived in Italy at one time and one of the things I love about that culture is the evening "passage." People walk arm in arm, slowly, noticing everything and just enjoying being out and about. A bit of window-shopping, people-watching....and it's free!

If the movie lets out early enough, do a little shopping. Take the money you would have spent on food and pick up a new top or outfit.

We are fortunate that one of our theaters is located in an outdoor mall. We enjoy walking and browsing the shops. There are fountains that add a nice touch. There are many restaurants that have outdoor patios where we can enjoy a beverage or a light meal such as salad.

My favorite thing to do is to stop of at a gift shop where they sell the most wonderful scented candles. I always have to buy one or two or three! lol

What about going to your communities tourist attractions? We have a central tourist hot spot in our nearby city that includes a beautiful river walk. They have a lot of different performers through out the year. Or if you like scavenger hunts try Geo caching. It's free and it's fun looking for treasures and you get exercise!

Great ideas just need to talk the other half into them!

This was an issue for me to, and still is. My other half LOVES his food! Now we have switched it from Red Lobster and Cocktails to a movie night, game night, shopping night, or even a night out at karaoke and I just don't drink, he may have one. Sometimes our date night may just be planning a healthy meal, but yummy at home, cooking together, candle light dinner and movie in front of the fire.

Well I planned a surprise date night for Saturday. We start with a couples massage. We move to dinner (where I plan to have chicken poblano soup) then end the night with making a pottery piece at Sunshine Glaze. Hope my husband likes it!

How did your date night go?

It went well. I was surprised how much he liked painting pottery. We made wine goblets.

That's great! An evening full of new, exciting fun. Have me an idea!
