So what do you like to do?
Kirk and I have been married of six years, and we still date.
Usualy on a week day because the weekends are so crazy.
We love going to a movie, and dinner, yep the old cliche.
But what we really love doing is going to BoonDocks in Draper and playing the starwars Arcade game they have. We spend 5 bucks and it's enough for both of us to win the game!

This is going to sound silly, but probably my favorite place to go hang out it at my mom's house.
She can spoil her granddaughter and I can have some time where I don't have to worry about watching my little girl. Being a stay-at-home mommy it's nice when you can have a little time to yourself.
Because of the odd hours that hubby has at work we don't get out to a lot of other places because they're closing when we're ready to get anywhere. sweatdrop

my husband and I normally have friday night date night, and go out to a nice dinner just the two of us... we're spoiled though, we live in a Mother/Daughter house.. his parents are in the new part, so they watch our two year old everynight while I do homework, or we go out, or we just watch tv, or something.. its nice =)

Because I work nights it's hard to get out. Our weekends our usually taken up visiting parents. It's good to do, but leaves little time for anything else. Most of that time we spend playing board games. I'd say that's our family hobby. I like playing tennis but currently suffer from a lack of anyone to play it with. If I had more time for dates I really like outdoor places like the zoo or aviary. That gets kind of tough in the winter though.

Wow...free time...usually that's after bedtime, meaning it's time for me and Laren to battle for supreme rights to the PS2, with the loser settling for computer time or a good book. On good days, there's a multi-player game we agree on.
When we've actually got a babysitter, it's usually a special date we've set up, which tends to stay short (dinner plus a brief stop) because we don't like to leave the little guy for too long - he notices we're gone and gets worried (no really - he doesn't freak out and start crying, but he starts asking very *definite* questions, and won't let us leave the room without him once we come back for him).
So, thanks to gift certificates, sometimes it's sushi, and we actually get a small tokuri of sake to share (we're mostly teetotallers other than that), or if fate is less generous with cash we tend to get Chinese, Vietnamese or Korean - we both have problems with dairy, so the more European restaurants are right out, if only because it's the opposite of relaxing to try explaining to someone about no dairy of any kind, followed by the inevitable, "Got it...so, is butter okay? Just a little bit?" stressed
Anyway, most any evening out for us is capped by stopping off at a mall for bubble tea, because we love the crap out of chewing our iced tea. whee No, we're not Asian. We don't even try to be, although we do try to be polite, and for some reason Asian women (no matter what age) really seem to like my husband. We just really like the food. heart (Okay, and the culture. And the music. And the movies. And I do acupuncture and Qi Gong as a profession. And my roommate in college *did* say it was her goal to turn me into a complete egg. But I'm also a big fan of Sweden, and I studied French, German, and Russian, so cut me some slack? sweatdrop )

we have two computers, the lappy and the desktop. so we pretty much battle it out for the desktop cause it runs the sims2 (my game) better and it runs return to castle wolfenstein (his game) better. but since i'm home all ady with access to either of the two, i usually bow out and let him have the desktop at night. we just joined a gym so hopefully that will be something we can do together when we get into that "what do you want to do? i dunno. what do YOU want to do? i dunno." routine that we fall into so often.
we go to our friend's house pretty often cause they only live like 5-10 minutes away. They're our "family friends" and they'll probably end up being "Uncle" Richard and "Aunt" Crystal to our future kids. xd

Free time? Eh? Havent heard of the stuff! xd
I dont think me and the hubby have been to a movie since Star Wars III??? eek And our daughter is now 1
We did rent some movies recently though and that was nice. Last year we had season tickets to our local college football team and I went to almost all the games. ^^
We tend to go to dinner if we go out though, its fun to be lazy and not cook 3nodding
But on Saturdays we tend to do alot of cleaning and things that need to be done around the house and Sundays its visiting family or finishing up what we didnt do on Saturday. Weekends are the only time we have together to do much because he works days and I work part time nights Mon-Fri.
*laughs* We should try and get out more often though, I know Gramma loves watching our little girl ^^

Guess I should update...we don't really go on dates anymore. Most of our babysitters are either busy or sick or no longer trustworthy.
These days, we have a couple of friends over for dinner (I cook), and after the kids are in bed we play rpgs - most of us have had a shot at running, which is nice. It means everyone gets a chance to play as well. I really miss dating, but getting to spend time with friends is rather nice too - something we hadn't really done much since becoming parents. We were the first in our group of friends to get married, get a house, have kids...and it's tough to bridge the maturity gap. Sure we used to enjoy hanging out at a party until all hours - but being hung over or sleeping until noon isn't an option with young children. It's been nice seeing the rest of our friends grow up and get back onto the same page. Even the stragglers have at least figured out that semi-decent sleep habits will help them keep a job.
