Date Nights

After a usually long week of activities, I'm always wishing that there was time to squeeze in a date night with B. It's important in any relationship to be able to reconnect on a regular basis, especially when life gets in the way. Because we're usually under a time crunch, a quick dinner and a movie usually do the trick for us, especially because we live under 3 minutes to our closest movie theater. Date night for us this past month was a movie, and Del Taco! Like I said, time crunch =)

In December, we actually escaped for a whole weekend! We had a hotel suite in Downtown Las Vegas. We spent the night with friends and family, slept in the next morning, and headed out to volunteer at the Toy Run at our favorite downtown bar. The hanging out with friends while reconnecting with each other was great.

Maybe for February, especially because it is known to be a romantic month (Valentine's Day), we will try something new and exciting for our date night.

Those that do get out for date nights, how often do they happen? once or twice a month? once a week? do you make it a point and set time aside specifically, for date night? What kind of things do YOU and your significant other enjoy doing when you have time together?

I will leave you with a few photos from the past few date nights of ours. Have a great weekend!

Valentines Day 2011. Double date night with my sister and her husband, at Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris Hotel & Casino. Delicious food and a perfect view of the Bellagio fountain show from our table overlooking the Vegas strip.

Bar hopping in Downtown Las Vegas. Insert Coins, Commonwealth, BBB, Beauty Bar and The Griffin are all fun places.
