This past anniversary was our first after baby. Took DD to grandma's, ordered take out, had some good wine and house to ourselves. It was awesome.

35th in three weeks. Heard my wife saying how much she wanted to see the Redwood Forest NP. Surprised her on Valentine's day with our plane tickets.
We generally alternate destinations. Last year, we did Normandy, which was a bucket list item for me.

We always go out to dinner with the kids. When DD was around 4 she overheard us making dinner plans and said "where are we going for the anniversary?"

So we let her choose where we should go for "the anniversary" and we celebrated our anniversary at Rio Grande LOL.

We're not big on celebrations so ever since then 'the anniversary' consists of the 4 of us going out to eat. However now that the kids are older we go somewhere nice.

Us too. We travel without kids 1-2 times a year but unrelated to our anniversary.

8 years. We might have gone out for dinner, I really can't remember. We were moving into our new house the next day so we weren't doing anything crazy.

I love this. The true meaning of love, is giving something thought and creativity; handmade, if you are lucky. I know people who use anniversaries (and probably birthdays or any other holiday) as an excuse for an expensive present. Ew.



He's pretty awesome.

just bc something was expensive does not mean it lacks love, thought or creativity.
