Romantic Autumn Dates By Krystina Edgar There are many ideas for autumn date nights, and all you really have to do is use some imagination and incorporate what you and your spouse enjoys doing. Think outside the box and use what’s around you for ideas. When you think of autumn, what comes to mind? Beautiful autumn colors, Corn mazes, Pumpkins, Country/ State fairs. Here are some Romantic Autumn Date Ideas: 1. Call around to some of your local farms or pumpkin patches and find out if you can arrange a private hay ride. Bring a blanket and your favorite wine or other beverage and glasses and just cuddle up together, wrapped in the blanket, sipping away in your spouses arms during the hayride. 2. Plan a camping trip to a beautiful location where it will just be the two of you. Make this time special by lying out under the stars at night cuddled up to your spouse and get caught up on some well needed couple time. 3. Go to your local County/State fair and while there, hold your spouses hand and enjoy the rides and shows that are offered and get some cotton candy and feed it to one and other. 4. Take your spouse to a pumpkin patch and each of you pick a pumpkin, take the pumpkins home and try to carve out what feature you love most about your spouse. 5. If you want to stay home for your date night, cook your spouse’s favorite meal. Start a fire in the fire place or fire pit and have a romantic dinner by the fire. Finish the date off with some chocolate dipped fruit for dessert. Enjoy autumn in all its beauty and don’t let age slow you down from being romantic, think outside the box and surprise your spouse with romantic autumn date nights. Enjoy the opportunities you can have and spend as much couple time together as you possibly can! Models: Megan Graves, Tim Wood Photography: Megan Spence Photography
