Date Night: The Bookworm Date

So I know I've told you guys about this website before...but if you haven't checked it out, you seriously should. The Dating Divas...they have the best date night ideas & that's where I got this one from. Of course I gave it a twist, but I'd like to give them credit.

Now who doesn't love bookstores? They're super relaxing and they have so much to offer!! I made up this "invite" on word and gave it to Chris before the date. 

Whats a date without some dinner?? The first clue isn't that hard (we'll at least I didn't think it would be) it took Chris forever to figure it out. The answer: RED ROBIN.....yum!! Plus...I joined the loyalty club for free & got a free appetizer out of it. :)

The next clue was the name of the bookstore. BARNES & NOBLE (I gotta give it to him, he got that one pretty quick.) This wasn't an ordinary trip to the bookstore, we had 6 tasks to do! Once we got there and found a spot to sit down I gave him the first card which had 3 different tasks on it. 

1) Visit the COOKING section and choose a recipe that you would like to make for your spouse.

2) Visit the MAGAZINE section and find a quiz that you and your spouse can do together.

3) Visit the CHILDRENS section and find a book that was your favorite when you were a child or a book that holds a special memory for you....and read them to each other once you sit down.

 After those 3 were done, I gave him the second task card which had these 3 tasks on it;

4) Visit the JOKES section and pick out a HI-LA-RI-OUS joke to share with your spouse.
5) Visit the TRAVEL section and find a picture or information on a place you would like to visit someday.
6) Visit the POEMS section and find a poem that describes the way you feel about your spouse.

We had tons of fun doing all of these little tasks. We found some yummy recipes...

Laughed a ton at the jokes we were telling each other...

And let our imaginations run wild at the places we would like to travel to.

All in all, it was a super fun date & the best part is...we only had to pay for dinner. You could even skip out on the dinner and just do the bookstore part, that way...its free :)
