Thanksgiving. Ideas?

scoetto · October 2009

I'm trying to figure out what to do for Thanksgiving this year. A lot happens within the same week. Our 1 yr anniversary is on the 22nd. J's bday & Thanksgiving are on the 26th. He is unable to take time off so we won't be able to go on a trip anywhere. I guess a nice dinner is in order. Maybe we should go on a mini-trip the weekend of our anniversary? Because of his back we don't have a lot of options as far as travel (he was barely able to dance w/me at the renewal). I want to do something special. Any ideas?

Where do you live?

We live minutes outside of Washington DC. I could ask my local but I thought maybe you guys would have different ideas as an outsider looking in.

How about finding a modern-ish bed and breakfast? It would make a great mini-trip. It's one of our favorite things to do when we can't afford a real vacation.

Oh wait I know! Make a reservation for your fav restaurant in town, book a hotel room at one of the nicest hotels. Bring some wine and stuff...Go out for dinner then to your hotel. Even if it's in your city, it'll feel special! We used to do this when we had a roommate.

VA has wineries with B &Bs ans I spent T'day at a B & B in St Micheals one year.

My best friend's birthday is the 26th too.Is there a B&B nearby you can go to for a night? Or a hotel with a nice spa where you can relax in a hot tub? The weekend before Thanksgiving may be less expensive, but maybe the weekend of would be free, since people spend more time with family?
