Date Night at the Drive-In

After what felt like a forever January, I’m so happy it’s finally February! 

I’m reeling in the romance for a Valentine’s idea this weekend: a trunk date at the drive-in! Whether you prefer a scary movie or comedy, it’s the perfect intimate adventure. 

Considering the cooler temps, pack some blankets and bring your layers. You can watch from the seats with the radio, of course, but why not try out a cute picnic-style spread for a change?

We got cozy in our Roadshow BMW X3 tailgate and stepped up the usual popcorn and soda combo to cheese, chocolate and wine. Don’t forget a bottle opener and glasses!

I packed individually prepped ingredients in snack-sized ziploc bags and brought along the wood board to style once we parked at the drive-in. Since our occasion is Valentine’s, I added dark chocolate and candy to the mix. If arranging onsite is too much maintenance for your preference, order a prepared charcuterie for two from a local provider such as Feast & Graze. 

Now, which film is your pick? Make sure you two can agree—horror movies are a *no go* for me. Pull up to the appropriate theater entrance, park, unpack, and enjoy.
