I have a 60th birthday this year, in late July. Normally I would want to go out to a really nice restaurant to celebrate. However, this year I am on a restrictive diet and going out to eat is not as pleasurable as it once was. I thought about going to the Kennedy Center or other play, but I am not excited about what is playing at that time. I do not want a party.
Any other ideas to do to make the day a bit more special? |

A day (day trip) out hiking/historical site/museum
Lots of sports right now Leisurely day at a winery (is that part of your restrictive diet?) |

| Massage, deluxe mani pedi, shampoo and blowout at a nice spa where they bring you beverages. I find that I don't feel like eating when I am having these services. |

A colleague mentioned that their childhood friend was doing 60 different things/ seeing 60 different people during the year lead in up to their 60th.
I’ve managed to do 2 so far- see a movie alone and go to an actual ray movie with DH. I want to create/recreate a museum piece that I saw; make a piece of wearable jewelry for myself- a Frankenstein piece is about all I can muster. Would love a trip somewhere |
