We literally do something different every year, and take turns with who gets to make the plans and surprise the other. Well, all except next year... we're going to renew our vows in a Pagan ceremony then.

We usually go out for a nice dinner, but depends on when it falls. We have gone away for long weekends on occasion. This year is a milestone, so we have decided to renew our vows. Should be fun.

We don't really do much, although I think that as time goes on we'll start putting more effort into doing something for each one.

After 22 of them, you'd think we would have a tradition by now - but we don't. We're hoping to do something special for #25.

WE used to go out to dinner, either Benihana or Morton's Steak. With money being tighter, we haven't done that in a few years. (That and Benihana and Domo 78, a similar restaurant suddenly refusing to cook my food in the kitchen. I have severe shellfish allergies and I can't eat food cooked on the hibachi, even when they scrape it off, and they don't seem to get it, and then pretend they don't understand me.) They used to cook my food in the kitchen, and the lsat few times we went, they had excuses not to. I ate nothing but cold sushi, because I couldn't take a chance on... dying. So, we haven't gone back.

I'd love to go back to Mortons. It's a beautiful restaurant and the steaks are amazing! But, we haven't been able to afford it the last few anniversaries.

The last few years we got sushi and tempura (veggie) from a local sushi place, and brought it home to eat. We usually get a movie and then have a nice marathon in bed until late.

Every other year we go away for the weekend. On the off year we ship the kids off somewhere and enjoy a weekend at home alone.
