Ideas for child free weekend

Hoping for the advice and suggestions of the MN hivemind!

My parents have kindly offered to take our 1 year old for the weekend in August. This is the first child free night(s) we will have as little one was born 2 weeks before the first lockdown so it has pretty much just been DH and I with her all the time.

However, I will be 35 weeks pregnant, so alot of the things I would have liked to go out and do are physically impossibly as I'm already struggling with basic physical activities!

We will probably go out for a nice meal, watch a movie uninterrupted and enjoy the lie-in! And I have a pregnancy massage booked in for myself :)

So my request is- what else can DH and I do to treat ourselves in our 48 hours of luxury free time??

Go somewhere scenic for a picnic, have a pamper evening with face masks, mani/pedi, candles and a book, put on your favourite music and dance around the room and last but not least, have noisy sex because there's no little ears around to hear 😂

Unpopular opinion but my mother (a midwife) was firmly of the opinion that the baby was "cooked" and she deserved a G&T by this stage.

Sit around and read a book, take a nap, watch inappropriate tv in the daytime, eat cheese and nibbly bits instead of a family meal.

Find a museum or an art gallery before you have to do it with two small kids (to explain everything to to try and keep them engaged). Just wander, browse a shop or a gallery with lots of breakable stuff.

a swim?
lie in bed & read a book?
short walk to get ice cream?

honestly I'd just stay in bed for 2 days and sleep!😁
