This is an ever expanding list for the letter F. Here you will find words which describe; activities, name places (cities, towns, states, countries, restaurants, stores etc). Words may elicit emotions, describe an event or festival or be the beginning of phrases and quotes. . Basically, you are limited only by your own imagination. Therefore, this is a long list, with a variety of words which might be helpful when planning any adventure using the letter F. This list will be updated regularly, as more suggestions are offered. Eventually it will be broken down into categories. Remember, a word may have more than one meaning. For example, the word “farm” might bring to mind a Farmers Market for one person but an animal farm for another. Words can become actions, emotions or lead you to discover new destinations. They won’t necessarily be the same as the dictionary definition. Be creative and use this list in any way that inspires you to try something new! It will be impossible to list every word/phrase beginning with F here, so remember to look for restaurants, stores, road names etc., to inspire you. Think beyond locations. Consider new foods to try, animals to see , experiences to have, song titles that speak to you, or anything else that gets you thinking out of the box. Let your own individual experiences reflect a personal journey of discovery and have fun with the wordplay! As always, we value your contributions, so please leave a comment when you think of other ways to explore, using the letter F. (Please remember to keep your comments G-rated!)

This is an ever expanding list of date ideas for the letter “E”. Usually we use a dictionary to generate a long list of words, which might help generate ideas. Read through the adventures below, to see some of the ways we might put the words together, to come up with our adventures.
1. Get up “early” to watch the sunrise and “enjoy” an “English breakfast”. Then, just take it “easy” for the rest of the day. You could stay in your pajamas and go shopping for “each other on E-Bay”.
2. Go to a restaurant to eat. Make sure it serves an “Early Bird Special”, if you want to save money. Order your favorite “entree”, or “eggs, eggplant, elderberry, enchiladas and/ or Eastern or European Cuisine”. All great “E” themed foods to try. You could even wash it all down with an “Espresso”, or “Earl Gray Tea”.
3. Take an “entourage” of friends to an “Escape Room”. Make sure you like them though because you will be locked up together, in a “themed” room for 60 minutes. You must cooperate by using clues to solve puzzles, which will help you escape. This makes an “epic” gift.
4. Perhaps animals are more interesting to you. Egrets and elephants both begin with E. Could you visit a bird sanctuary, or a zoo to see them. Have you ever ridden an an elephant, or gone to a circus where they perform? How about an Equestrian Center?
5. We love celebrating any holiday. “Earth Day” is one which comes in the spring. There are many ways to observe it. What a better way to spend a date, than by “engaging” in activities such as a parade, or a clean up “event”.
6. Maybe learning is something you like to do. How about attending a class, watching a documentary, or visiting a museum? You could choose to learn about “Egypt and/or Egyptians”, or maybe the “Economy” or “Entomology” is more your thing to study.
7. “Elders” always appreciate a visit. Whether “eight, eighteen or eighty”, people have numerous “experiences” to share. “Engaging” helps us all connect.
8. Sometimes it is fun to just sit at the “edge” of a cliff, or watch a movie that keeps you on the “edge of your seat”, either would be very “entertaining”.
9. What about taking a car ride, and making only “East” turns, to see where you “end” up?
10. Perhaps you will visit an ocean and watch the tide “ebb”, or perhaps an “eddy” is easier to find. Float in the water to “ease” the week away.
11. Concerts are always on the list, “Electric Light Orchestra” would surely get you “energized”. Or, you could put on “elegant” attire and sip “effervescent” drinks while being “enchanted” with the “entertainment” of your choice.
12. Take and “epic” trip and cross the “equator”.
13. Connect with the seasons by celebrating the winter or fall “equinox”.

This is an ever expanding list of adventures for the letter “A”. Generally Alan and I use a dictionary to generate a long list of “A” words. We then try to use these words to spark date or travel ideas. Read through the adventures below, to see some of the ways we might put the words together, to come up with our adventures. This list may also generate ideas for photos to take, while we are on the date and/or offer words we might try to incorporate into our story. Keep the list going by posting “additional” ideas below!
Words lead to ideas. When we begin with the alphabet, then fill in words which start with that letter, it begins to open up our creativity.
I use the dictionary to get started.
Let’s take the letter A for example. Here are a few words I have for this letter:
A-Abode, Acoustic, al fresco
What comes to mind when you read these words?
Do you see your own house? Did you automatically think of music or a guitar? Did you imagine yourself eating outside?
This is what words do. They make you think bigger. Now imagine a date night planned around these words.
You could even make this a free activity…what about setting up dinner at your own “abode” (home). Plan to dine outside “al fresco” style while you listen to an “acoustic” guitar. See how easy it is to create an ABC Adventure!
You could plan a vacation around these words by exploring cultures.
Start a list for each letter of the alphabet. Become a collector of words and the ideas will begin to flow freely.
We will share our lists throughout the month of December.
