Recently I’ve found 5ks that my husband can walk while I run (friends join us too, but it still feels like a date). And this past weekend we did our first joint cycling tour (and my first ever) and had a blast so we’ll be doing that again (plus doing more riding together locally). We love finding new places to eat too, though we do tend to stick to faves while home. But on vacations, we have a rule of only eating at places that we can’t find near home. We’ve discovered so many great restaurants that way!

"People watching" love it favourite past time ever, but!!! If you guys are ever in England make sure you visit a small village called Blakeney on the north Norfolk coast we have the most amazing coastline home to one of largest grey seal colonies and voted the most top secret natural hideaways again this year

I absolutely love the idea of one picking three options and the other picking one! We get in a rut (Married 12 years together 13) of “how about this”? “How about that”? And it goes back and forth till one of us agrees. I’m going to try your list of 3 idea. Brilliant! We are in our 50s raising two of our grandchildren. It’s easier now that they are 4 and 6 but oh so rough when they were babies.

I totally understand. My husband and I work as audio engineers for different artists and we’re always traveling and rare the times we get to work together even worse spend time together. But Austin is my go to city whenever we have a weekend off. And I love trying new things always. I’ve tried some of the places you mentioned Gen but you gave me a couple of new that I didn’t know about. So I’m very excited to try them next month on date weekend lol. So thanks for the ideas. Blessings to you and the family. Xoxo

Gen, you’re a life saver! We live and hour away and some of these just scream out fun! And locations neither of us have been! We have three little ines so play dates are the only we ever get out! Seeing pictures of your family inapire me to continue the fight to push for our happiness too! With my husband as my rock and #AKF as guidance and help…keep the emails coming!

I loved this post! I'm an author who works from home so that I can care for my two little girls. Sadly, my book is not selling well, despite the fact that it is both a fantasy and a comment piece on the struggles of minority groups, pluss all who have read it have given it five stars and rave reviews. Such is the struggle of an indie author, but what makes it more frustrating is having only one full income to depend on, and my husband works 7 days a week at 5 am, so he's beat when he gets home. We talk about going out for date nights, hikes, or creek trips (Northern Arizona boasts some gorgeous creeks and trails if you are ever in the area), but such outings, especially with just the two of us, are a rare occurrence. If we are ever in Austin, we will definitely check out some of these places! As always, thank you for your wonderful posts! They continually have something I find beautiful our useful! Hoping you and yours all the best!
