17. Create a Bucket/Travel/Microadventure List

Sit down and scheme and dream about the things you’d like to do together. You can make an ultimate bucket list — all the things you want to do/see/experience as a couple before you die. Or you could create a list specifically of the places you’d like to travel; you might consider actually planning out a vacation — whether a dream one or a more realistic trip. You can also keep things down to earth by committing to doing one microadventure each week, and drawing up a list of all the possible microadventure ideas you can come up with.

18. Listen to a Spooky Old-time Radio Show

This has become a Halloween tradition for Kate and I, but is something you can do any old time. Especially on these dark, chilling winter nights. After the kids go to bed, we make a fire in the fireplace, lay down a blanket in front of it, set out our vintage radio-turned-mp3 player, and put on an episode of an old-time spooky radio show. Best of all, we have on hand apple cider donuts, shipped in from Vermont, to snack on as we listen.
