An $8 date


We've made it a priority in our marriage to have a date every week. This may sound expensive, but our dates are rarely the traditional dinner and a movie type dates. In fact, the one time we did eat out and see a movie the same day, it was lunch and a matinĂ©e. 


 For our most recent date, we took a long walk downtown.



 We walked along the canal...



 watched the local animals...



had fun taking photos...
 


 watched part of a free concert that happened to be going on...



and saw parts of the city we'd never seen before, like the central library.


(It's pretty epic.)


And we just had fun.



We bought some sorbet at the mall, which was our only expense other than the unavoidable parking costs. 
 


It was one of the best dates we've had in a while!

Enjoying Fall


Not too hot...not too cold...beautiful colors. It's a great time of year for having fun outside. 



 You can conquer a corn maze


Hug a tree



Cuddle together for warmth



Build a house



Dine al fresco



Pick the perfect pumpkin



And most of all, just escape from the city and enjoy the SPACE. As much as I love where I live now, the city can be a little suffocating after growing up with cows for neighbors.


What are you enjoying this fall?
