I just made that up and decided to go with it a few weeks ago. I wanted to plan a date for Tommy. I told him {on Facebook o'course} that he needed to keep the night open.
I decided to plan a date that was not too much money (we do have a mortgage you know...), was relatively close to us, and that we would both enjoy.
I settled on going to see a movie at the McHenry Outdoor Theater!!
Gates open at 6:30 and it costs $10.00 per adult. You have to pay cash, but $20.00 is a cheap date for TWO movies under the stars! I packed some snacks for us, and we will be taking the Ravinia mini table, some comfy outdoor chairs, and our radio. You can sit in your car and watch the movie too if you prefer. You just have to tune the radio station so that you can hear the movie.
We will be watching Despicable Me 2 (I'm only in it for the minions) and Monsters University.
The best part is talking and just being together under the summer sky waiting for the movie to start :)
I can't WAIT!!!
Update: 7/14/13
It was a GREAT success!! Tommy was pretty surprised, and we had such a nice time hanging out, talking, and watching silly movies. We started the night out sitting in front of our cars and eating the dinner I packed with some of Tommy's favorite foods :)

Then, as the night went on, we added blankets because it got chilly. After the first movie, Despicable Me 2, we decided to get in the car because it was getting cold! We got all comfy cozy in the car and watched the second movie, Monsters University. Tommy fell asleep and was all snory (lol), but it was fun, even if it was past his bedtime!

The next Super Secret Date Night is already scheduled for August 17th ;) I feel like a spy.
