My husband and I have been together for 17 1/2 years. We try to keep things exciting by having semi-regular date nights. Date night is a way for us to reconnect. We talk about everything that has recently taken place and what is coming up in the near future. Sometimes our date night is us multi-tasking dinner and running errands. Other times, we are able to get out and try a new adventure. Trying to come up with new date night adventures can be a struggle. When you have been together for some time, it seems as though you have done “everything” together.  Budget, time and location can also be big determining factors for date night adventures. I decided to sit down and create a date night adventure bucket list. This way I have a list of ideas of things we have yet to do together. Here are more than 75 ideas for you to add to your date night adventure bucket list.

What are your favorite date night adventures? Do you have a date night bucket list? How often do you and your partner get to have date night?

Laurie

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
