anniversary coming up

[stargazer]

Hubby and I are going to celebrate our third anniversary soon and was wondering if anyone had some ideas that won't cost much.
Nothing that involves food please....something that we can do after we put our son down so we can sneak out of the house (BTW there will be a sitter). Thanks!!!!

Well, when my parents were visiting from out-of-state last week and they looked after our little guy so that we could go on our first date since he was born (he's over 1 1/2 years! Eek!) this is what we did...

We were first going to go to a movie, and decided to kill some time at a nearby bookstore while we waited. We ended up staying there and browsing books together until the store closed (most Barnes & Nobles' stay open until 11pm, so it's a good after toddler bedtime activity) and then went to Sonic for a late nite snack. Totally missed the movie, and were glad that we did, lol!

Doesn't sound like an exciting date, but it was. I suppose it helped that we were looking at books that interested both of us instead of split up browsing different sections of the store (we were looking for devotional/study type books.) Plus, it was nice to do something that isn't easly accomplished with an active toddler.

Thank you James!! Ben likes to split and look at motorcycle stuff whereas I could careless about anything on wheels unless it has to do with my car. Going to Barnes & Noble and browsing with a white chocolate mocha has always been a favorite of mine. It's a great idea. I better ask hubby what he wants to do too. Since Sonic is the only thing open that late, that's probably where we will head afterwards too for a shake or something. Or Jack In The Box for a oreo shake. Mmmmmmmmmmmm......

If you have any view of the ocean or a place where you can see the stars might make the night a little more romantic.

We live about 45 minutes from the beach and that would be nice but hubby doesn't like our beach...it's pretty ugly. That and the mosquitos are so bad at night!!!! It wouldn't be very romantic trying to cuddle up to someone that smells like OFF! Heehee! Thanks though!!! We'll figure something out, I'm sure!

my wife and I are geeks. We love going to the museum of science and nature, going to the planetarium or the IMAX. If there's an event going on like say....international car show (another favorite of my wife and I), that's always fun. Or check around to see if there's a farmer nearby who runs a hayride service, or a coach and buggy ride. All fun things to do.

We did that last year on our 2nd anniversary. I loved it!! We went to the butterfly exhibit and also the Titanic exhibit. Then we went out to an observatory to see the stars. I guess I just wanted something different. I would love to have a picnic but the mosquitos are real bad. I asked hubby what he wanted to do and he didn't really answer so I guess I'll just have to play the whole thing by ear. Thanks for the suggestions guys!
