77338 Mercer Aboretum and Botanic Gardens

Take some time to enjoy the great outdoors at the Mercer Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.  They have over 250 acres of flowers, herbs, ponds gardens, rock gardens, walking paths, picnic tables and more.  The best part is that they are open daily and admission is free.  For your date, print off a copy of their scavenger hunt, birding or butterfly checklist on their website and see how many of these things you and your spouse can identify.  Then, bring a picnic lunch/dinner to enjoy in the park, surrounded by the beautiful scenery.



Relationship Reconnection:
While you are having your picnic, have some fun with this I Love You A-Z activity.  Each one of you writes down every letter from A to Z on a piece of paper and then then writes something starting with each letter that you love about your spouse.  For example, A - your Adorable smile, B - the Big hugs you give me when you get home everyday, etc. When you are done, share them with each other. Be creative and honest about the things you enjoy most about each other!
