Date Night: Dinner and Axe Throwing

After our trip to Costa Rica this past October, I decided to really work hard on planning regular dates and the occasional overnight date with my husband. The boys are old enough to where my 16 year old can watch them for 24 hours without me having to worry about them. So I offered to pay him for babysitting (he just got a car for Christmas and needs to pay for his gas) and he did a great job at watching and playing with his brothers. We used hotel points for our stay at the Marietta Conference Center (read about our last stay in this post).

I love the addition of the giant chessboard and firepit even if we did not use them. The sunset was really pretty and perfect for a couple’s selfie.

Dinner Outfit

I wore a thrifted Free People leather skirt, one of my favorite pairs of boots, my trusty Old Navy shacket and for extra warmth a beanie hubby gifted me this Christmas and a nice chunky scarf.

Axe Throwing

This was a first for my husband and I, and he was much better at it than I was. I still had a lot of fun and got a few good throws in. The staff was really helpful and gave us some great pointers on how to throw and how to improve our aim.

I would love to do this again but would like to find a place that is a little less expensive than where we went (it was $59.99 for an hour for the both of us). We were early birds and went at 8 and were back at the hotel by 9:30.

We stopped briefly by a Christmas light display on our way back to the hotel. We really enjoyed our time and I will make sure to plan another overnight in the spring. Until then a day date or an evening out will be great!

A bientôt!
