Post a Favorite Date Idea & Win a Date Night Gift Basket for Two

My husband and I rarely get any time together now that we have a 1-year-old. When we get a nice little block of time though, we like to take a walk in the woods or along the nature trail. It's a nice opportunity for us to be outside, it's usually very quiet and secluded, and we can talk about things that have been going on, or just walk quietly, holding hands. Something very precious, when one of us is usually holding our daughter and not thinking about holding each other!

My favorite date night is simple, fun, relaxing, and spontaneous. My husband and I have to face facts - champagne and sky diving are not in our budget and probably never will be. BUT a spontaneous night out for dinner and a competitive round (or two, or three...) of cosmic bowling are! I love the opportunity to eat at a sit down restaurant (no dishes, no fast food!), and my husband and I love the way bowling under a black light, with music blaring and the competition heating up, makes us feel young and light hearted.

I like to take a beutiful day and spend hours at the zoo, then go to the park we have a big park next to the zoo, ride the little train around the park get off and have a picnic.

I have been with my husband since 1998 and married in 2004. We have 2 girls (6 and 1). We don't have date nights, since we have no family, we ask friends to babysit. I want to pay them but they won't take any money. We enjoy our time together with both kids or one. When the older daughter is at school then we do stuff together, pick strawberries, or apples and have breakfast or lunch somewhere. We like to go to an Antique mall and look at stuff. It's just the reality of our life, no family, just friends so where we go the kids go. It might not be the perfect date night, but I enjoy our time together and I am fortunate enough to be able to stay home.

One night during the fall season we went out for dinner, coffee and then on a ghost walk (a guided tour)! It was really fun and interesting. If you get a little scared..you can just grab on to your husband/boyfriend!!!

I told my hubby it would be a fun night if we just went a few minutes from home to our "main st" and have dinner in one a few restaurants that we have there-one being a great pizza place and then go to the Fish hole for putt-putt and finish the evening off with ice cream at Big Olaf and coffee from Starbucks!

I like cruising in the car, just like when I was in high school. A lot of states have scenic highways, it's fun to take a cruise down these roads, then stop somewhere for lunch or ice cream.

Favorite way to spend a day...no plans..go for a drive, get something to eat..talk..sing..laugh..anytime when we are not racing to be somewhere is good...

It's FALL! Go on a drive to see the fall leaves, stop for hot apple cider on the way and listen to calming nature music in the car...pack a picnic for when you get to the beautiful destination!

I like to look at stuff... It doesn't matter WHAT kind of stuff I look at as long as I'm looking at SOMETHING!!! I know gas is expensive but I miss just cruising around with the radio on. Me and a guy with the windows rolled down and the radio turned up on some old rockin 70's and 80's tunes... (Would THAT be called "Oldies" now..??.... ) Fly through a chicken joint or grab a cone of ice cream and hit the park. Sit by the pond... and just watch.... (And maybe reflect on things in each others arms... does that make me mushy?.....) Afterwards a snuggle on the couch with a good book taking turns reading to each other in front of the fire place with a sweet glass of wine... some crackers and cheese... sigh.... do you think THIS is why I'm SINGLE??? =?

I think sometimes its nice to romance your guy. And with all the fall sports, what better way to spend the day but with your man and some passionate fans and hopefully a successful sports team. Even if its not a trip to the stadium, theres always a sports pub or having a get-together at your house. Nothing better than october/fall brewed beer, a crisp day, a little enthsiasm and a VERY happy man at your side. You will be the best girlfriend/wife ever!!

A nice way for my hubby and I to have a (very cheap) date- is to take a long walk together after dinner- the kids are fed, watching a movie. The house is locked. We just walk holding hands for an hour or so, smell the lilacs in the spring, talk about life- it's just really about being focused on each other's company- and we can sometimes have multiple dates each week!

A sunset horseback ride is great if you like an adventure. Or, a picnic dinner on the beach for the romantic.

We love to spend a day together at a theme park. We can see shows, experience thrilling rides and pig out all in one day!

Get a couples massage to relax and unwind, then go out for a candlelit dinner and dancing. This is so romantic. The massage makes you feel so calm and stimulates good conversation becasue you feel so peaceful and harmonious. The candlelit dinner and dancing sets the evening off as a night you will never forget.
