A tradition that we started the first year of our marriage was to drive around town sometime the week before chocolate, our favorite hot chocolate in hand, enjoying all of the Christmas light displays. Each year I find out about more Christmas light displays in the area and add them to my list of places to visit. I hope this list of local light displays helps you plan an epic family activity or date night this holiday season!

A fall leaf date is only possible for a limited time each year. Those leaves are around for less time than most any other limited time date night activity. Take advantage of the gorgeous views and go out for a relaxing date with the one you love.

This year’s Magic on the Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival will start Wednesday, May 31st, with all artists finishing their work Friday night. We love walking down Bountiful Main Street, seeing the amazing talent that our community has, and chatting with friends and neighbors who we run into while we're out.

The USU Botanical Gardens have become one of my favorite places in Davis County. I love the calm piece of nature that’s right in the middle of town. I think it’s almost more gorgeous when it’s cold than during the summer or fall. The pond freezes in places and everything is covered in snow.

For those of you who are looking for date night fun this weekend, we've compiled a list of almost 10 different things going on in the area that sound like a great way to say so long to 2023 and head happily into 2024.

Last summer, a local hiking group organized multiple sunset hikes up the same trail here in Davis County and I was really intrigued by it. We made plans to hike the trail before sunset a couple of times but were never able to actually make it happen. Now that we’ve hiked the trail once and marveled at the view from the lookout point, I can’t wait to do it many more times!
