Feel Like a (Romantic) Kid Again

by Paris Permenter & John Bigley,
editors of Lovetripper.com

If the start of the school year makes you a little nostalgic about your own school days, why not take a little trip: back to your own childhood! Make a date with that special someone and act like children again. You'll soon see that this child-like fun can be just as romantic as a grown-up date (and a whole lot easier on the budget!)

• Buy some bubble gum. Have a bubble blowing contest.

• Buy your lover a stuffed animal and name it together.

• Challenge each other to a pillow fight.

• Compete in a video game.

• Cuddle on a carousel.

• Enjoy a one-day vacation doing activities you'd normally do with your kids, but this time only include each other.

• Visit a theme park or water park.

• Go to the zoo.

• Ride a miniature train.

• Ride your partner's favorite ride at amusement parks.

• Talk to each other in pig Latin.

• Tell each other scary stories

• Visit a playground. Swing and slide together.

• Win your partner a prize at the arcade.

• Write your names on a balloon and watch it drift off in the breeze.
