What's your favorite go to date night activity? Our restaurant choices have been uninspired lately and neither of us has a craving for anything in particular. We aren't interested enough in any of the movies playing right now. B&N has lost it's appeal, too. We have a sitter for tonight, but no idea what to do or where to go. And unfortunately, we really, really need this date night with work/school stressing us both out to the max.

Maybe something like Dave & Buster's? The one here has the arcade, pool tables, plus a few bars and a bowling alley, so lots of choices! You can also look up local places that have open mic nights or live music and hang out/eat at one of those. Our list for dates right now includes an indoor rock climbing center and a huge adult trampoline place. Groupon and Living Social might have helpful ideas too!
Have fun!!

But my H and I will sometimes play mini-golf or go bowling. We've also gotten a drink and then done a boardwalk-type stroll, just to talk.

My sweet babies:




We had a date night on Saturday night for DH's birthday, and wound up stopping by our friends house for the tail end of their 3 year old's birthday party, just because it was a chance to have a couple of drinks with our friends, and then we went out to dinner at one of the same-old-same-old restaurants we always go to and neither of us were very impressed with our meals. I was asleep in bed by 11 pm. Wild and crazy.

Sometimes I feel like our conversations lack substance these days. I talk about books and his eyes glaze over and the same goes when he talks about his cars. Our minds are 100 different places other than each other that we can barely talk about normal things. Obviously the key to this is doing a date night or just 'forced' together time so we are actually engaging instead of just being around each other thinking it's the same thing. I guess this is the whole marriage requires work stuff. Not that it hasn't been work in the past, but the maintenance now is so much more. We both forgot how important it is.
Sorry, I didn't mean to end up spewing my marriage details.
Oh and I was a sleep by 10:30. I see 11 so rarely these days, you're a step ahead of me!
