If you want to go cheap and spontaneous take a drive up to the U on the Mountain and hike up to the U. If you walk to the middle of it and hang upside down and it looks like an oceanfront. You can take your dinner up there and eat it as you overlook the valley.

Or you can get golf balls and cover them with glow in the dark stuff from glow stick and hit them off of Ensign Peak.

Or you can go to http://www.letterboxing.org and go and find letterboxes across the valley and fill up a book.

After dinner and a fun activity if you want desert there is a cute place called Hatch’s chocolate. I heard it is run by midgets. It is on E Street and 5th Ave.

If you want to spend money, go have dinner at the Mayan in Sandy and watch the show of the divers jumping in the actual restaurant. Go to the Symphony or the Desert Star Theater. If you tell them it is your anniversary they will make you do something embarrassing. They always make a couple who are on their first date there kiss in front of the entire audience.

Go to a lakefront and talk about your first date, proposal, then your wedding day and remember your favorite memories together. Maybe read some journal entries of when you were dating. Although I doubt the Donkey has written in a journal. He might have to go off of memory.

I am not sure how many suggestions I am allowed to put on here, but I have a ton more ideas.

Feed the kids “sausages and apple juice” then one of you put them to bed while the other runs to the nicesest reasaurant that will do curbside. Once the curbside feast is at home and the kids are snug in your bed, sit on the living room floor and have a picnic with your dinner while watching a move from the redbox.

We like to get a bucket of KFC and go to the park to people watch. We make up stories and conversations about the people we see.

Last minute date idea – drive separately to a restaurant and pretend you’re on a blind date just meeting.

When I read your post about a date night, I thought about a Simpson’s episode when they were staying at a beach house. Homer wants to go to the Quickie Mart to buy some illegal fireworks, but he is a little embarassed to do it. Here’s what he says:

Homer (as he’s walking casually up to the Quickie Mart counter): “Let me have one of those porno magazines, a large box of condoms, a bottle of Old Harper, a couple of those panty shields, and some illegal fireworks, and one of those disposable enemas… eh, make it two.”

Later that night, after seeing his purchases, Marge says: “I don’t know what you’ve got planned for tonight, Homer, but count me out.”

Happy Anniversary! We celebrated our 10 year anniversary this year with Andy leaving me and the kids to go on a backpacking trip with Zak and Brian. It was not very fun for me. I think that we are in trouble!

Happy Anniversary!! I was going to say that you/donkey could make a nice dinner for the other one but I wouldn’t want to create more work for you.

Dear “Sara Kelley”,
I had this great last-minute date idea for the two of us, but after reading your comment have decided to avoid upsetting you and just go out by myself. Thanks for watching the kids.
