What to do for our anniversary?
First of all...what is the gift for 4 year?
Second...I don't know what to do for our anniversary. We didn't do a darn thing last year and I really wanted to try and do something this year. I wanted to go to the Brad Paisley concert in Chula Vista but I don't know how I feel about leaving Mary overnight somewhere. I have a panic attack thinking about it. (she'll be 9 months old. I need to get over it).
But anybody have ideas on something we could do with her and still enjoy our anniversary?

A weekend away? San Diego, Santa Barbara, Solvang, Monterey?
He proably wouldn't take a weekend away without his Jeep. So then it would be pismo. But our friends are going to Santa Barbara for their anniversary next week so maybe they could talk it up to him. But with our trip to Texas in June and FL in Dec. He wouldn't want to spend too much.
No fancy resort for me. 
I've been trying to talk H into a weekend trip to Santa Barbara for a couple months now. So you should go and tell me all about it so I can live through you.
Has Mary been to Disneyland yet? Maybe get a hotel in Anaheim and visit the park. I know that gets pricy though.
She's been. When I went for my birthday. But maybe we could do that and in San Diego and do Sea World. Hmm.....
Maybe I can tell you my friends experience and we can both live through her. lol
Oh yeah, I forgot about your birthday.
Yeah, Sea World/San Diego definitly works too. Plus SD has a bunch of stuff to do/see.
Tell her I'll need specifics do I can get the full visual of me sitting on the beach sipping a wonderful alcoholic beverage.
The nice part about just deaming a beach vacation is I look much better in a bikini than I would IRL.
LOL.
Honestly, even if it's for the day do something local w/ONLY each other. It's nice to have alone time & "reconnect".
You're not excessively far from Palm Springs. How about you go out there for a day trip?
I'm all about taking trips for our anniversaries so I'd say Palm Springs, SD, maybe a night in LA?
Since we have to go out of town for our anniversary I think we might just go to a fancy resturant for dinner.
This is a possibility. I will ask. My problem is that H is a cheap fuddy duddy. So I have to try and make it sound appealing. He's not the "relax by the pool" kinda guy.

then go out for a fancy dinner.
MH is the same way. He gets panicked about spending money, even when we're doing ok money wise. Plus he'd much rather just stay home most of the time. Getting him to go out even for dinner is like pulling teeth.
All of the above suggestions sound great. I know I suggested this to whoever asked last time ( I want to do it myself, that's why!) but a day of wine tasting and dinner at a winery - and it's pretty cheap!
As for leaving M overnight. We left L for the first time last weekend - just one night. I thought I would be a mess, but we had a good time and really needed it.
