I'm a Cheap Date

Dinner and a Movie dates are fun.  I love to eat.  I love to watch movies.  dee-yoo-in dun.  Sometimes though, it's fun to shake things up and do things differently.

One of my favorite things to do is to hang out at bookstores.  I like wandering down the aisles and going through all kinds of books... reference books, art books, photography books, novels, etc.  Some even have coffee shops where I can grab a tasty drink.  This past weekend, Bossyboots and I visited our local mom-and-pop bookstore for some smooching in the stacks.

Not really - that would be inappropriate.

One of the things I love most about local bookstores are how personal they are:

I like this one, too:

They were all out of the new book I wanted to buy, but they had plenty of others...

Even a little illustration inspiration:

On our way out, we spotted this little gem:

Interesting to us because of Bossyboots and I's pet wind-up chicks.  Witness the evidence:

Don't tell Opal, but we like Adelaide better.  She doesn't spend all day eating carrots.  CARROTS!

What's your favorite cheap date?  Spread the knowledge so we can all save some G's!

Oh I love book store dates but I have a hard time not buying something so that doesn't help us in the G department. My favorite cheap summer date is a nice long walk and a coupon for a buy one/get one free at Rita's Italian Ice. They always send them out in the beginning of the summer and I keep them in my wallet for impromptu dates. Then we have a contest to see who gets brain freeze first.

I love going and paging through mags and books at book stores! In college I use to drag my books & homework to bookstores with a cafe and sit and work... I often spied on several a' dates. What fun!
