Have a Sleepover
For a great change of pace, ship the children off to their grandparents and book a night at a local hotel. You can enjoy a quiet dinner and drinks at the hotel.

In the morning, you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast before you have to go and pick up the children.
Wine Tasting
If you have a local winery, take a winery tour and end with a tasting of the local fine wines. If you don’t have a local winery, create your own wine tasting date. Purchase several bottles of different wines, some cheeses and crackers and some great chocolate. If the weather’s nice, you can have a lovely picnic in a local park.
