Aside from the activities I posted in "Super Success Stories", some other things happened this weekend. Yesterday, W and I planned out what we're going to do to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and booked the tickets. We'll be seeing the musical "Hairspray", and the seats we got are nothing short of amazing - Orchestra level, 7th row center! We'll also be spending the night in a fancy hotel, and having a nice 3-course supper. The following day we'll get a one-hour boat tour of Toronto Harbor. I can't wait!!
When I was talking about this with W Friday evening, I was afraid it wouldn't pan out, because one of the things she wanted to make sure of is for her parents to stay with the kids. If DD20 has her license by then, she'll only have just gotten it, and W was most definitely NOT comfortable at the thought of leaving her the car! It's quite likely that both DD20 and S18 will be working that weekend, so they'll need someone to drive them there and back. Fortunately, her parents were totally cool with the idea - they'll actually be arriving a couple of days earlier to help us celebrate S18's high-school graduation, so they'll just stay through the weekend. So that worked out well.
Also, when I was talking with my parents yesterday, Dad was asking me what W and I would want for an anniversary gift. Needless to say, I couldn't answer that, since I have NO idea how to "size" such a thing. My parents are well off, and have been VERY generous with us, but I have NEVER had the ability to ASK for stuff like that. I just said I'd leave it with them to decide.
