anniversary plans?

I can't believe its coming up so fast. Are you getting each other anything? Any major plans?

I am not sure what DH has up his sleeve, but he has made a few hints that the kids will be going to his parents and we are going somewhere. I made a few hints a couple of months ago about going to get a nice hotel room in a nearby town and spending the night. I don't want to do anything just enjoy some alone time and sleep in late. I am hoping thats the plan. I feel like I need to get him something since we didn't do gifts last year because we went out of town.

    I think we might just do a nice dinner out.  I told Derek he can buy me flowers too.

  • We have vacation plans the weekend before our anniversary and two weeks after (neither of dates were dates that we decided on). So most likely we'll just have a nice dinner out on our actual anniversary.
  • Nope.  We're camping/biking or backpacking that weekend, but it's not an anniversary trip per se - just happens to be that weekend.  DH isn't big on observing anniversaries, and I'm not going to force it (last year's dinner was quite disappointing).  I'm not even going to mention it if he doesn't remember. 

    We are going to do something cool over the weekend, however: our rings have the San Juan mountain range on them (geographically correct; the view from the Durango ski area).  We're going up to the ski area to get the same view that's on our rings and take pics there.

  • We're taking a belated anniversary trip in September once DH earns more vacation time. On our actual anniversary he works until 10 so probably not much going on that day. We are getting each other a joint gift though. In sticking with the traditional 2nd anniversary gift of cotton we're going to get a photo we love put on canvas. Last year's paper anniversary was cruise tickets...I have no idea what we'll do for leather!

  • My original plan was to get him a scooter, (2 years 2 wheels) but I just paid the money I saved for it on an exam I have to take this fall to become a certified Interior Designer.  So this year I think we are just going to go out to one of our favorite restaurants. 

    For a gift my BIL is in Barcelona right now so I asked him to pick me up an FCB football shirt for DH since we honeymooned in Barcelona. I think I'll just save the scooter for Christmas.

    Oh yeah, I should add that we have our baseball playoff tournament the weekend just before our anniversary.  Nothing says love like playing in the dirt!

  • We're going back to the scene of the crime...VEGAS!

    The weekend before our actual anniversary we're going on the wine tasting adventure we were supposed to do last year before DH blew out his achilles tendon.  

    Then later in August for his birthday and our anniversary we're going to Vegas and staying at a lovely hotel and having an amazing meal.

  • DH will be out of town again. He's supposed to be at work for at least the next 5 years for our anniversary. I don't know what it'll be like to celebrate an anniversary until we have been married at least 6 years. We most likely aren't exchanging gifts again, we have a golf tourney the weekend before, so there is really no time to celebrate.

    I can't believe it's been 2 years already! 

  • We don't have set plans but have talked about an overnight trip somewhere local. Maybe Santa Barbara or San Diego. My favorite idea is possibly drive up North to a quiet beach then a nice dinner on the drive home. I have no idea if we're exchanging gifts but I'd prefer not to seeing as how we just got a house.

  • We can't decide if Hawaii should count for our anniversary or not! We'll be back from that trip 4 days before our anniversary, so I kinda feel like I want to celebrate on the day of somehow.
  • We couldn't really do anything last year so this year we are going to Lallapalozza in Chicago.  I am so excited.

  • No plans here. Dh has to work. I'm hoping to maybe get a sitter for one evening that week so we can at least go to a nice dinner somewhere in the Old Port.

  • We are planning a trip to San Antonio to check out some caverns and do a tour of a vineyard in Fredericksburg. I'm really looking forward to this year's anniversary. Last year we didn't really do much.
