More Than Just The Movies


We are pretty fortunate that we have a close-knit group of friends whom we trust to watch our kids, therefore date nights are not foreign to us.  We know this isn't the case though with a lot of people, especially parents with little kids, so we count ourselves blessed.  We get in a rut though when coming up with ideas, especially without spending a ton of money.  So we did a little brainstorming tonight to make it easier to decide what to do.  Chris added some suggestions and I came up with some, too.  The only thing that did not get added to the pile of ideas was shopping.  Chris + shopping = complete meltdown.  For the both of us.  We have been shopping twice together in our marriage and both times I've had to bribe/reward him with pizza and beer.

I digress.

Hopefully this little tool will help us branch out and take advantage of our great city!

What are some of your favorite date night activities?

indeed you are blessed :)

we like whole food or central market for date nights-when they do happen. central market has a shareable pizza for $10 that is really good and leaves room for dessert!

Oh... like Jen, we used to just go to Whole Foods & people watch when we lived in ATX. We like to take walks and explore different parks around here. Though, it's always with little man since we don't have any sitters!!

Love this idea Carey! We like to take cards, or a game, and sit at a coffee shop sipping coffee & eating dessert. Movies are also super cheap here, as in only $8 for both of us, so we usually swing by the candy section at Target and sneak some candy into a movie.
