My parents offered to watch the kids overnight for our 9th Anniversary.

Some things have opened back up in Texas, but we are pretty cautious. Besides ordering takeout from somewhere you like, and generally enjoying the silence and stillness of a house without kids for the first time in months, what would you do for a date night? Or what have you been doing for date nights (or day dates)?

I’m thinking Friday morning Mass would be nice. Its like I forgot how to plan dates.
 
How about a picnic? Play some nice music and enjoy each other’s company. The idea is to share time with each other doing something you both enjoy.
 
Get take out from somewhere you normally wouldn’t with the kids. Eat it with a set up that you wouldn’t with the kids around (like with candles or on the deck). Watch a couple movies or play some board games. Take a walk around your neighborhood.

Friday morning Mass sounds wonderful too!
 
A great carry in meal, dancing by candlelight to your favorite songs, a nice long drive to look at the stars, rent a movie that is NOT animated Pixar.
 
Preach it.

Take it from me; surprising your wife with a bottle of chianti and a blu-ray copy of “Cars” does not go over well.
 
I’d do a picnic. Either make it yourself with your favorite foods or make it easy and do carry out. Take a table cloth and candles along to make it fancy. Drink out of real wine glasses. Another option for more sporty types is a canoe ride. My husband and I enjoy canoeing without our children and we can take a picnic as well. Of course, depending on where you live, canoe rentals might be closed because of the pandemic, but if you do have access to a canoe, I think they are very romantic. We have a couple drive in theaters that are supposed to be opening soon in our area which would be an awesome date night. Gas is cheap, so going for a scenic drive is a good idea.
 
Make love. Sleep–with no fear of being waked up by kidlets!

That would have been my ideal “date” when my husband and I were younger. It still sounds good to me!
