I’ve been trying to think of some unique date night ideas for Sean and me lately. I wanted something different than just going out to dinner or having a cocktail at a bar. That’s when I came up with the pickup truck movie night idea!

With a fully-charged laptop in tow, we drove Sean’s truck out into his field just before sunset. I brought my air mattress which we put in the truck bed and then piled on some blankets and pillows.

Then we broke out the wine, popcorn, and candy, and had ourselves one heck of a date night!

I loved this date night for two main reasons. One, it lets us take full advantage of summer. Because let’s be honest, there aren’t many months here in Wisconsin where we can lay outside at night. Our pickup truck movie night was a perfect way to enjoy a warm summer evening. And two, this date was really memorable! It’s one of those nights we’ll always be able to look back on or replicate in the future.
