What do you guys do for fun with the significant other?

Looking for ideas to spend quality time with the Mrs.
Fun stuff to go and do, but also fun stuff to do around the house.
Any interesting ideas?

We went to Disney world in Florida for a week. That was fun. We rode every roller coaster, and fun ride in the park numerious times.

I was assuming you were looking for ideas that are not sexual in nature.

And no un-natural acts either.

My wife loves going to the movies, we found a local theater that has $4 movies Tuesdays and Thursdays so we have date night every other week...

We are on a tight budget.

I love going out to eat but she freaks at the cost... she breaks down and we go out to a nice restaurant about twice a month.

Also try to go on a modest one week vacation once a year.

This is a family type board, so I can't share the good stuff.
We don't do movies. We hike and watch TV together a lot when we're not doing the stuff I can't tell you about.

We started taking kayaking lessons. Figure once we get comfortable being able to right ourselves it won't be too expensive of a hobby.

Something she may not have done. Take her go-cart racing then a couple of coffees in a nice cafe afterwards. That will get her heart racing.

Day trips up the coast or in the country. Nice relaxing drive. Stop here and there for a snack.
Take some pictures of the wildlife.


We do this frequently.

Complain about the kids
Yell at the kids
Pick up after the kids
Feed the kids
Clothe the kids
Glare at the kids

Fun is where you find it.

Never are my wife and I closer to divorce then when we are working on a home renovation project.....

Private time is pretty hard to come by with three little kids, but we do our best to get a babysitter and have a dinner date every weekend. 3-4 times per year we try to get out of town for the weekend, we were in Vegas for our 10th anniversary in August and will probably spend a weekend in KC before the end of the year. Kids are awesome but all consuming, so it's huge to get away and just hang out.
