20th anniversary ideas????

[mbryson]

What say the RME faithful? My wife and I will have been wedded 20 years this Nov. Despite her being a "non-Jeeper", I still like her and we do have a great relationship and have built a cool life for each other.

Our anniversary is right around Thanksgiving, so I think we'll forget the kids at grandmas and bail for a couple of days after having some turkey. Has anyone got any cool hotel/resort ideas within a couple hours drive of Logan? Not sure I want to come back to SLC, but it's possible for the right idea? Neither one of us are big cold weather fans, but there's not a lot of choice under the two hour parameter from Logan (I was kind of thinking of a quick flight somewhere Bahama'sish, but flying is seriously a pain for less than 4-5 days in my perspective)

I say splurge a little and go to hawaii or the bahamas, or you can go to alaska and get her a day at a spa while you go out and get a moose or grizzley

Lava Hot Springs. Looks to be about an hour and a half from Logan. I love it up there.

I was going to suggest a stay at the Inn at Old Faithful in Yellowstone but I think they close at the end of October. You could always go to West Yellowstone, MT. I love it up there.

Airfare is the killer here because of the dates. I love DC It would be cheaper to take Jet Blue and go to DC then the Bahamas or Hawaii. You could go to the Holocaust Museum http://www.ushmm.org/
as well as the Smithsonian http://www.si.edu/

Riverdale resort isn't too far away either and it has the hot springs also (never stayed there just drove by).

Splurge. Take her to Sizzler and let her have a Coke.

As for the event, I would suggest Jackson Hole or the surrounding area.

November makes it a pain. I was thinking St. George, Mesquite, Vegas, but I'm not sure I want to drive that far. Weather would likely be warmish, though.

Lava Hot Springs. Looks to be about an hour and a half from Logan. I love it up there.

Like that idea. Southern Idaho has never really been a "destination", but that's not really the purpose of this trip. We just need some "distractions" during the day. That could work well?

I was going to suggest a stay at the Inn at Old Faithful in Yellowstone but I think they close at the end of October. You could always go to West Yellowstone, MT. I love it up there.

DC is awesome, but for three-four day trip, I'm not wanting to deal with flying. It's just to big of a pain in the ass nowadays. Add the Thanksgiving weekend factor and some weather, we would save some SERIOUS $ and pain-in-the-ass factor (tends to put a damper on other activities) by just driving somewhere away from the kids and family.

Jackson is three hours from Logan (at least from my memory?) and I suggested that.

Splurge. Take her to Sizzler and let her have a Coke.

Coke's probably a little strong, but I'm thinking the evenings will be awesome with some root beer. Arbys and root beer will be plenty for this trip.

that's kind of the plan but I'd like to have a private pool as well

Dude, show a bit more respect.

That's right up Spence's alley. I wouldn't expect anything less from him....

Checked that out earlier. Apparently you guys liked it?

I think we'll be doing a "cool" adult trip again this next spring. Never been to Hawaii, so we're thinking that. Just don't have time/resources in the fall for that.
