we need your help...

I was given strict orders NOT to update my blog until I got an email from Chris. He wanted to do the post today because he's kind of excited, so here it is...

From the keyboard of Mr. Dinosaur Toes:

Madame and I (Madame is my pet name for Mrs. Dinosaur Toes) have been debating where we would like to go for our TEN YEAR anniversary in September! Danielle and I got married young at 18 and 22 respectively, to the trepidation of many. While doubts may have flourished, I can't say I blame the naysayers for their opinions because I frequently have to stop myself from judging other young marriages, many of which don't make it. What would I say if I have a daughter one day who wants to get married at 18?
I digress...the subject at hand is our anniversary destination. We have discussed a number of places including Paris, Hawaii, New York, San Francisco, Bahamas, etc. We initially weeded out Paris and Hawaii because of the extreme cost of airfare so anything continental or in neighboring islands is game at this point.
We need your help! Leave us a comment with your ideas for an anniversary destination!

  8. ricebabies, I've been suggesting Canada, so we'll see!

    I'm so glad that so many of you have suggested San Francisco, becuase that is my absolute favorite city, and I'm hoping he'll decide he wants to go there, too!

  11. If it were me, I'd choose New York. I've only been once and have been dying to go back since, and Cori used to dream about living there, but has never even visited.
    Congrats on (almost) 10 years! That is awesome, especially for marrying young. (We did the same, I was 19 and Cori was 21.)

  12. congrats on ten years! when is your actual anniversary?
    i think you should come to california... big sur is WONDERFUL and i can get you in touch with a lady who owns the cutest, most intimate cabin overlooking the ocean. i can send you pics too... it's gorgeous! also, it's close enough to SF which i know you love. if you come to cali, you should definitely stay there for a night or two! let me know if you want more info on it.

    ps. i got your package today! i sent you an email... you should read it :-)

    pps: how cute is chris to take over your blog today... what a man! loved it!

    xoxo

  13. first of all, congrats on 10 years! that's amazing! second, i'd suggest austin, tx...maybe just because i've been missing it. but, really austin is SUCH a fun city..the food alone is reason to go! i've also heard that boston and montreal are pretty amazing! xox

  14. I think you should go to San Juan Puerto Rico! It's cheap(er), it's GORGEOUS, and there is a near by rainforest you can hike! It's really an amazing place to visit!

  16. WOW! Congrats to you both... It is so sweet that you were married young and still loving it!
    I think all of those places sound wonderful and like you couldn't go wrong with choosing any of them...
    But I am an extremely indecisive person, so I am not much help, sorry...
    But whatever you choose and where ever you go, have a blast!!!

    or somewhere warm and sunny in california. i LOVE santa cruise. san diego & san fran would be fun too.

    p.s. i love that your hubs put it out there for the blogging world to suggest :). what a sweetie!

  18. Well...
    This is just so cute! Hubby and I just celebrated our 5th anni and we told each other that Paris would be our 10th Anniversary destination! But if airfare cost is an issue, let me give a big shout out for Vancouver/Whistler/ Victoria( were I am from) I lovvvve the West Coast and really can't say enough just how beautiful it is here. So much to do, and see. Come to Canada, you will never want to leave...

  19. my vote is for San Fran. i got engaged there, so it has a special place in my heart.

    it has the greatest mix of culture and life too. you can walk all over town or ride the trolley, so you don't need a car and there are LOTs of great places to shop too.

    that's just my vote, but whatever you choose will be great i am sure.

    props to your hubby for posting this too!
