Our Alphabet Date series continues…

“R” Activities:

The color RED.  Plan an evening that revolves around this color – use your imagination or gleen from the list.  A few examples – wear red, eat red meat and red-skinned potatoes, drink red zinger iced tea and finish with red velvet cake.

Romance – spend an evening talking about what is romantic to you and your spouse.  Often times we don’t ask and assume it’s the same.

Reflexology – this is a great excuse to give your spouse a great foot and/or hand massage.  Here’s a handy chart to use.

Roller Coaster – plan an evening enjoying the thrills of the ride.

Reminisce – plan an evening doing things you did a long time ago.  Recreate your first date, if possible.

Read a good book together out loud.

Rowing – plan a date out on the river or lake.

Road Day Trip – simply start driving to an area you’ve never explored before.  Some great things can be discovered in the little towns found off the beaten path.  If you’re local check out these resources.  If you’re not local – simply Google Road Day Trips for your area.

Relax Grill – a great local restaurant in Orlando, especially as the weather cools, since it’s completely outdoors on the shores of Lake Eola.

Russian themed dinner – or check to see if there’s a local restaurant serving Russian food.  You could even invite a few couples over for a group date night.
