My 6th wedding anniversary is 3 1/2 weeks away and I want to plan something really nice for my husband. We have been together for almost 12 years, (we were high school sweethearts) and so our wedding anniversaries have never been celebrated as something special. For the last 5 years we have ordered pizza and watched a movie at home. Sometimes we go out to eat on the weekend after, but it's never anything too extravagant.
I want to do something really special for Shawn this time. 6 years isn't typically made a very special celebration for most people because it isn't a milestone. The number of years isn't super special to me, but the guy I'm married to totally is. Shawn has been working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for over 4 months now. I would love to take him somwhere that he can relax and be away from work for a while.
Here is an incomplete list of some things that I think Shawn would like to do
- Swim with Sharks
- Helicopter Rides
- Hot Air Balloon Rides
- Dune Buggies
- Jet Skis

What a fantastically thoughtful wife you are! I also love experiences more than things when it comes to gift receiving. I'm sure there are many experiences that could be had for little to no money, but there's also no arguing that spending some money will get you some really awesome experiences. I like all the ideas you've listed so far, and picking the best one would depend on what Shawn (and you) would like to do the most.
Keith and I did a helicopter ride (my first!) over Mount St. Helen volcano site during our roadtrip vacation last summer. I think it was our single most expensive activity during the whole vacation, but it was totally worth it and great to share the experience together.
From the look of your list, it sounds like Shawn is an adventure-lover? Some other activities along the same line may be indoor car racing, paintballing, horseback riding, going to a shooting range, bungee jumping, parasailing, and skydiving.
Wow, that is quite a list. How about parachuting?
My husband and I love snorkeling, that is always adventurous and fun!
Those are fantastic ideas!!! Shawn has been bungee jumping and he really enjoyed it! I, on the other hand, see no point in jumping off of a perfectly good platform / airplane / bridge! When all of the snow melts off of the mountain, they open up a summer adventure area with street luge, zip lines and bungee jumping! That's it! Eurkea!
Meemsnyc, I would LOVE snorkeling, but Shawn is afraid - I mean uh, he doesn't care for water. It has a lot to do with being forced to jump 30 feet into water in full USMC gear including boots. :(
