Things we do/have done/might do in the spring/summer:
-We're taking a little weekend trip, but nothing super expensive. -Baseball games -concerts -depending on where you live, maybe you could take a walk somewhere with a nice view? We like to go walk at our local state park near the beach when it's warm. It's nice to just have time to spend together -H went to a painting class with me for my birthday. It was so fun to just spend a fun evening together. We made fun of each other's paintings, laughed so much, and had great conversation with other people doing the same thing -H wants me to start going to the shooting range with him to see how I like that. He goes a lot. -go to a movie or play -campfires in the evenings in our backyard -festivals -game night (we play cards sometimes) -we used to do puzzles together, it was actually quite fun

Individual hommade pizza night. We make the dough together and build our own pizzas. Last time he ruined mine by convincing me to add more cheese. It was gross. Lol
Game night with wine. Mostly Skip-bo and crazy 8's. Loser of the night makes banana pancakes the next morning.
This might be TTC related it was awsome. My husband surprised me with a candle lit,oil, music massage setting and gave me a damn good massage. It felt like a professional massage and was amazing. No sexy massage business. Just a real full body massage.
Long drives to new small towns with a plan for a picnic or we stop into a place for dinner
Bucket list for things to do together :
- paint night out at those bars where you drink and paint on canvas - make-your-own sausage class at our local food market - couples pottery class (I love hand made pottery).
-Batting cages -cooking class -pottery making/painting -plant a garden -local university baseball/lacrosse games -zoo -one of those "escape room" things -rock climbing (indoor or outdoor) -ice/roller-skating -amusement park/water park -take a swing dance class -go horseback riding
Apparently we had a 30 before 30 list... but only checked off like 8 thinkgs

We live out in the country, so when the weather is nice we take a 1-2 mile walk every night with LouDog. I'm looking forward to being able to do that again! We did a painting class with friends a year or so ago...it was really fun, and H's painting is actually still hanging in our kitchen. I need to put that on my list for this spring!

If you like cooking my all time favorite date night was a "chopped" style dinner. Since I don't own a fully stocked pantry like the show H and I went to the grocery store where he gave me the 3 mystery ingredients and I had to quickly decide what to make and pick up everything I wanted. It was so much fun watching him go "wtf are you going to make?". And it ended up really good.

+1 on the escape rooms. We did one (with two others) last year and had an absolute blast. We talked about it all week afterwards. Dh and I have a designated date night. Friday nights we rent movies and get take out. It's been our tradition for 14 years. We do it whether we are mad, sad, happy etc. We rarely miss one and even friends and family know not to call or try to make plans because that's for us. We do include people when they are staying over of course. As for ideas, hiking a new trail, going to a home and garden show (give you ideas for the new patio) maybe a comedy show ?

H and I love skeet shooting, and it is a great stress reliever a regular shooting range is fun too, but skeet shooting is a little more fun I think
Do you need a gun permit for this? We have a local fish & game club that does beginner skeet shooting class and I've always wondered.
We have a range by us that offers it, we just rent the guns so no permit necessary The range might have permits, but we don't have to worry about it. It is a lot easier and more fun than I thought it would be. At first I was intimidated by the whole moving target thing, but it is so much more satisfying to explode a clay disc than hit a paper target.

"For style and safety we recommend a shooting jacket, goggles, hearing protection, and well-trained beagle." I love urban dictionary! And you! who would have known that had a dirty double meaning

As for us, one of the things we did was make a list of places around the city that are fancy but have good happy hour specials. That way you can try it out and indulge on the cheap we also like trips to ikea that end with frozen yogurt!

I was going to say I've been dying to try an Escape Room!
Like wannabmama, said you can find lots of new things on Groupon and Living social. There's a go-kart place here in Boston that's like legit- you have to wear a full suit and helmet. It's expensive but we tried it half off with a groupon and it was fun!
mikaela20 You are mistaken- there is no such thing as too much cheese!!! Last time I messed mine up with too much pesto under the tomato sauce.
I love everyone's ideas. You could also volunteer, like hand out water at a charity run. Or run/walk the charity run!
