Nathan and I are back to planning our once a month dates for each other. We trade months and the idea is to plan something the other person really wants to do. We've made this year very 2009 with the goal of planning inexpensive dates (not including babysitting!). Naturally, it's a competition so we'll see at the end of the year who came up with the best date for the least amount of money. We took advantage of MLK Day and opted for a day date, which I sometimes think is more of a treat! Off to Concord we drove for breakfast at a cute French bistro, La Provence. We'd stopped there once before for lunch with the kids. Unfortunately, it wasn't as yummy as we remembered. But, hey, a quiet breakfast just the two of us, they could have served us snow! Then we went to Walden Pond to test out our snowshoes.
Snowshoes had been our 2007 Christmas present, but due to my growing belly last winter we only tested them out in the backyard. Walden Pond was beautiful. There were very few people there. We tromped around the lake and even traversed it. Let me tell you, snowshoeing is a bit of a challenge for the leader. You have to essentially march to pack down a path. Luckily, I'm married to a great marcher.
The pond was so quiet and the trees just beautiful with snow still on the branches. Date total: $22.05

Oh so frugal and fun (plus a great title...). It is fun to see the tidbits of Boston on a more regular basis! xoxo
Such a cute couple...and a wonderful idea to keep the romance alive! Dates can so easily become too few and far between. Can't wait to see what y'all do on your next outing!
