Most newborns fall asleep as soon as they ride around in a bit in a car. Take that to your advantage for a great date night.
Prep work:
- Print off a personality test for both you and your spouse.
- Grab a clipboard and pen so you can take the test together.
- Prepare all the things you will need for your baby, and give them a nice big feed before you set out on your trip.
Date Idea:
- Drive to a nearby canyon or somewhere that has beautiful fall leaves. On your drive to the canyon take the personality quiz, passenger writes the answers to the drivers personality test! As you take your tests together talk about why you chose the answers you chose.
- While in the canyon search for the Prettiest tree, the scariest tree, and cutest tree.
- If your baby gets fussy stop somewhere safe and feed them for a while, then make your way back home!
Variant Ideas:
This is a great date to do when you want to have some good one on one conversations with your spouse but can’t find a baby sitter. Use the car to your advantage with a newborn! If it’s not fall where you are come up with other things you can look at such as Christmas lights, or drive to an expensive part of town and admire all the fancy houses. You can use the same voting criteria to talk about which houses were the prettiest, scariest and cutest. Or you can come up with your own categories!
