    This may not sound fun, but we like to do home improvement projects around the house together.  We also enjoy watching our shows together. (True Blood, the Tudors, Big Love)

    We love going on mini-trips:  to Target, to the corner store to get a snack, out to grab dinner.  We just love going places together!  Also, we love going to the Alamo Drafthouse--it's a movie theater chain here in Austin that serves dinner with your movie--so much fun!  The previews and pre-show entertainment is always great, and it's just a really fun experience.  We hate going to "normal" movie theaters now!

    That doesn't sound silly at all, Beagle!  Mr. Quiche and I are such good partners in home improvement.  It drives some people to fight, but we love doing it!

    Also, I love cooking with him because he is such a good cook.  I learn a lot!

    We also like to drive & sing songs at the top of our lungs.  Makes the car ride much more enjoyable :)

    & watch TV.  Love that, too!

    We talk about Weddingbee and our cats, mostly.

    I like to go on walks and get coffee.  Mrs. Bee likes to go on adventures in the town and take photos to blog about them.

    We get the most excitement from eating out on Friday nights! Friday night dinner is probably our favorite time... we rehash the week, talk about our futures, and always splurge on a really nice meal out! Plus, we drink before we leave (cheap asses) so our convos are always more... fun :)

    MY favorite thing to do together is play board games but FI isnt as big of a fan sometimes. I think his favorite thing is trying new recipes or going some place new for dinner.

    This sounds so lame, but snuggle time on the couch - FI works insane hours so we relish in Friday night takeout nights on the couch.

    Also we love being up at his family's lakehouse together.

    My favorite time as a couple is our Saturday summertime morning routine.  We sleep in, go out for brunch and shop at the Farmer's Market.  It sounds like such a dorky "couple" thing to do, but I love it.

    Fiance rides a streetbike so on the weekends we love taking rides up the coast with me on the back.  We play on the wii together which is always fun, go walk the beach, watch UFC fights etc.  Or going to some outdoor mall, getting a cup of coffee and people watch and make fun of people in weird outfits :)  (women in Orange County dress pretty obnoxiously so it's fun to make fun of them)

    @Mr Bee - We spend wayyyy too much time talking about (and to) our cat...LOL

    Our fave thing to do is jump on the Mr's motorcycle and go for a long ride down a country road we haven't been on before....and we stop when we see a little antique store or country store to poke around....somehow we always manage to find an ice cream stand where we stop for a break.

    Road trips (the time spent together in the car!), grocery shopping, playing video games- well, I play and he watches because he's never learned how to work the controllers- going to the movies together when its empty, going to early or late dinners so we have the place to ourselves.  We love to be alone together, we hate crowds.

    @Karma007 - totally with you on the beer part (although we just got a leash for our cat so we "walk" him in the backyard).
    Ever since we first started dating, on most Friday nights, one of us will go to the liquor store and pick out some hilariously-named 6-pack, then we...um...do a tasting at home. We've found some really great beers that way, but we've also had some where we each drank one bottle and couldn't drink the rest coz it was so yucky.

    We stay at home a lot, and while at home we play computer games together and watch a lot of movies... and NOT do enough chores! Washing dishes together is fun, though. When we go out, I love driving at night with him, out of the city where it's dark. I also like going shopping just for the sake of shopping, not to buy groceries, but he's not so fond of that. :)

    I would have to say taking the dog for a walk. It's our alone time when we get to just enjoy the park and talk about whatever is on our mind.
    Also, playing sports together. He likes to take me golfing, and sometimes we play a bit of volleyball in the backyard :)

    We like trying new restaurants and going on trips (little ones like something fun to do in town, or my favorite, weekend road trips!). We also have a very spoiled French bulldog, and we like to take her for a walk or to the dog park.

    @august2009 Thanks for that link on geocaching! We live on a small lake that is also a state park. And they are just starting to introduce a geocaching program. My fiance and I are interested in learning more about it.

    FI and I enjoy laying down blankets, and enough padding so we don't kill our backs, on the back of his flat bed truck. This way we can snuggle under the blanket and talk while soaking in the beautiful stars----we are lucky to be able to see them because people in the city really don't get to!

    Ours is probably going to concerts together.  We're lucky to live in a town where they do many outdoor concerts, and have big name people come to town for tickets as little as $8. 

     

    Haha, and just like everone else... playing with our pooch.  Although I think my FH is starting to like it less and less as she starts to take up more room on the bed.

    We shoot weddings together and have so much fun. On our days off we like to sleep in, make coffee in the morning and dream about our future. During the day we usually end up talking about how we can bring more to our couples and draw up storyboards for upcoming shoots. Then at the end of the day when we're all burnt out from brainstorming we plop on the couch, grab some popcorn and watch a dvd :)

    We like to sit on the couch on our laptops and work on our seperate projects. Mr. Avo is happiest when he is productive, and it keeps our stress levels low because we aren't "wasting time". And we get to be together while we work!
