I'd love to try some of these, but that means that I'd have to have a hubby that was actually home, right? Boo.

I hope you guys have fun trying them all out, though!

Love it! Maybe we should make a goal of once or month...or due to eh, work issues, 6 dates this year. ;) Maybe I missed it in the list, but the first of 2 dates we had last year was buying a van. Oh wait, I think we had 3 dates, and one included shopping at a home improvement store...our dates end up expensive so maybe that's why we avoid them. Enjoy your dates! Question, dates that are childless? Or do family dates count too?
