Things to do When They Come to Visit

Those of us in an LDR only understand the feelings that we get as we're waiting to meet him for the first time. We're anxious, excited, nervous, happy, and I know that I'll probably cry happy tears when he's finally in my arms.

Then you have a whole week/two weeks/month/however long they plan on being there with you, to spend with them. For me, James plans on being here for a week. I already have some ideas for what I want us to do. Here are a few:

- go on a sunset sailing tour
- go to museums/exhibits/parks/forts etc (we're both history nerds, also we like animals)
- go for walks
- dance in the moonlight
- go out for dinner of course (I'm taking him to places that he wouldn't be able to go to in New York or Massachusetts)
- have a picnic
- go to the beach, even if not to swim since the water will still be cold, it's still nice to relax
- explore the south shore of Nova Scotia
- take him to our capital city, Halifax, and do a few things there
- watch our favourite TV shows/movies together and cuddle
- play mini golf
- go bowling
- play pool
- go to malls
- take him to seaside towns
- watch sunsets
- go on photo runs

Now, I've seen a lot of LDR couples that say all they do when they're together is watch TV and stay in bed the whole time. While watching TV and cuddling is fine, I just think it's kind of a waste of time if you do it all day everyday. Why not go out somewhere fun? You only have a certain amount of time with them, and I know for me, there's places I want to take James, I want to show him a good time if he's spending all this money to come and see me.

I'm lucky that with James, we have a lot of similarities, so we can do things that we'll both enjoy. It kind of sucks if you have a lot of differences so that you have to end up doing things that one or the other won't have fun at doing. I've been through that route too with previous relationships. I don't like country music, yet I went to a few country music concerts with one of my ex's who loved country music. So...yeah. And yet, whenever I wanted to do something they didn't like, they'd complain. Not fair really.

So I hope that list up there gave you some ideas as to things to do when your partner comes to meet you for the first time. If you run out of ideas then just search Google for things to do in your area. I'm sure it'll help ;)

Anyway, that's all for now. 102 days left <3
