Default Re: Hobbies/Interests Help PLEASE!

We like to play tennis...there are usually places (schools, parks, etc.) where it's free as long as they are available. Niether of us are good at it, but we both enjoy it.

The YMCA near us hosts a mini-triatholon every year...it's canoeing, biking and running but you can sign up as a team (families do it together)...We haven't done it but I thought it might be fun.

My husband is a Nascar fan and one of my good friend's fiance races in the supercup so we go watch him race when he's in the area.

We also went to the homecoming football game at NIU, my alma mater (go huskies!)

We went to a comedy club...my husband's first time and he really enjoyed it.

Outdoor concerts/fests.

I like finding local places that rent rowboats or canoes on lakes or rivers. My husband likes to fish and I enjoy sitting in the sun and will fish or read.

As far as shared hobbies, we've been decorating our house and while I come up with ideas and do the wallpaper/painting he has built some beautiful furniture and we both worked together on doing some wainscoating. We are mostly doing our own thing, but doing it together and to me it makes our house feel like our home when I see the things we've done with it.
