Obviously this is only something I'm going to have to decide for myself, but I wanted input anyway. September 2004 is my 10th anniversary with my husband, yay. We used to say that for the tenth we'd do something really special, like spend it in Paris, but now it turns out that in Sept 2004 we'll have a seven month old baby (in addition to our six year old), and there is no one we could or really would leave a baby with for a week or more, and besides, I think financially a all-stops European trip is a little ambitious for us now. So, we're thinking of bringing the kids and going to the Mouse, since WDW is such a baby-friendly vacation destination and of course the big kid will like it as she always does. I do think, though, we will get a Fairy Godmother on the actual night of our anniversary and go out alone.
Should we splurge on V/A's? It would make the anniversary seem really special, and I've always wanted to try it, but while I'm not cheap, and we're doing pretty well, I just balk at the price (including wine pairings, which of course we would have.) Part of me thinks there are plenty of other good places to eat like Cal Grill or Citricos that, while not inexpensive, we could have a big decadent meal and spend half as much. The midwestern frugality/sensibility is stifling me on this one. I'm really not miser by any means, but I am into for the bang for your buck factor. Anyone want to convince me that V/A 's is not an unreasonable way to spend over $300 on dinner?
