For the Love of Groupon

Groupon has to be one of the greatest creations. I know they don't always have the greatest deals, but they have been awesome lately, allowing for the perfect dates as we explore our new state!

A couple weeks ago we used a Groupon to go to the Portland zoo. It was fun because they had started to put up all the lights for Christmas time. It wasn't a big zoo, so we were able to see EVERYTHING. Here are a couple pictures of trip:

Last weekend we used a Groupon to go bowling with our friends the Stanfords. The groupon was $25 for up to 6 people bowling for 2 hours, including shoe rental, $10 to the snack bar, and $5 of arcade tokens. Split between the two couples, it was a cheap and way fun date night! With 2 whole hours of bowling, we almost fit in 4 games. Our last game we knew didn't have much time left, so we had to hurry. We did "lightening" bowling where one person would bowl right after the other, to hurry and get as many frames in as we could. We were bowling so fast that the computer couldn't keep up with us and our scores got all jumbled. Which was really too bad, because we were all bowling our best game ever! Everyone got strikes or spares almost every single frame. It was awesome.

This weekend (today!), we are going to the coast and staying in Seaside with a groupon deal I bought before we left Utah. We got a stellar deal for a one night stay at a hotel in Seaside, a welcome package with flowers, wine (oh boy!), and chocolate, and $25 to a restaurant for dinner. We leave this afternoon and are so excited for a little getaway. Dustin has never been to Seaside so it will be fun to go explore with him! Especially cuz he's had a bunch of tests this week and needs a break!

Thank you Groupon for allowing us fun dates for cheap!
