It's spring break! Being two teachers with a school-aged kid, we look forward to this week almost as much as summer. However, we don't want to break the bank to enjoy it. Therefore, we look for more ways to have fun that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I think we've been successful!
Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our 12th anniversary. Dinner and a movie? No way....too cliche! We visited our favorite casual restuarant for wings and pizza (they have a combo that's just over $11!) and then walked through a nursery. I know what you're thinking: that doesn't sound overtly romantic for an anniversary. You may be right, but it's a great thing to plan what you and your sweetie would like for the next dozen years of life, isn't it? Nothing better for a relationship than dreaming about the future, and we're dreaming of a well-manicured garden and lawn.
After that, we headed to what I expected would be a fun night of go-carts and putt-putt. I researched online and found a place that offered a variety of fun at prices that were exceptional. However, sometimes if things look too good to be true....well, you know the rest. We followed the directions I found online and drove into the parking lot only to find the place delapadated and abandoned. Major disappointment. However, right next door was a driving range. So, we pulled into it and we altered our plans.
I am in no way a golfer. I have touched a club two times in my life...both times proved I was farther from prodigy material than is possible. However, we wanted to do something out of the rut and fun. We found it...not to mention inexpensive. We shared a bucket of balls for $3. That's right...entertainment and fun for $3! It didn't matter that I was horrific. I laughed and had a great time. My husband and I got to enjoy a new activity together. And it didn't make much of a dent in the wallet.
