What to do?
You know you are the parent of a young child when you cannot go out on your anniversary weekend because the child is sick, and who is fool enough to watch a sick child?
Right, nobody.
So, we had to postpone our plans for this weekend.
Except, we don't know what the hell to do.
You see, we so rarely get chances for a night to ourselves (including a sleepover for Mr. P at Grandma and Grandpa's house) that we are completely out of practice planning for something that does not involve a five year old.
We are debating going to see Cirque Du Soleil, but we've seen them a few times already, and dude, the tickets are 90 bucks apiece. For a tent in a parking lot. That's what really gets me. Add to that it is a show based on a funeral, so I'm guessing it may or may not be all light and fluffiness.
We are so pathetic that going to a movie in a theater is a treat for us.
Maybe what I'll do is look at the movie schedules at the mega-plex and just plan out an entire day of movies, hopping from one theater to another. Every time we would walk to a different theater, we would wonder if we will get a tap on the shoulder, asking us to please leave.
You know me, I like to live on the edge. The edge of what is debatable, though.

Happy Anniversary! I hope you find some lovely way to spend your time with each other!
Cirque is always amazing, but seeing them in Vegas or at another 'permanent' location is so much more worth the steep ticket prices. JMHO.
Having said that, are there other shows, musicals, you can see anywhere?
What about an overnighter at a nice hotel with a nice dinner?
Heidi
I was going to make the same suggestion as Heidi, to see if there were any good shows in town. When we finally get around to going out without the kids, we always seem to end up doing dinner and a movie.
Happy Anniversary! Have a great time with whatever you do...
Go down to the beach (where you'll soon be moving?) and check out the scene there. Or go to that other town you're considering and check out what happens when the lights go down.
Otherwise, Circque sounds good to me. I've never been disappointed.
That's always our celebration...dinner somewhere nice. But we're foodies like that.
Happy Anniversary!
I would love to movie hop!
Ok. I had to check to make sure, and I was right. You did wear something white for your anniversary last year. Do the details I remember about your life kinda freak you out Gina?
I'm like Karla as well! I was just thinking how you went to some magic show or something for your anniversary and it doesn't seem like a year ago!!
Happy Anniversary and I hope Mr. P feels better soon!
take son to gramma or aunties for the night
pick up: movies, beverages
order in food from your favorite place or places
lock doors, turn off phones
and spent a cozy alone night,eat, drink and be merry
DO I NEED TO PLAN EVERY DETAIL ????
Happy Anniverary!
