This looks like fun and it's half price today!
 
I'm trying to think when I'd have time to do this? After director event?

I know! I was thinking of calling up DH and asking him when he might want to go. It looks like you can buy the gift certificate today and then schedule it at a later date, so I just might! Our anniversary is in June (12 years!) and we still haven't celebrated our 10th. LOL. We were supposed to go away for a night last year and family stuff got in the way. I think this would be really fun!

Our anniversary is in June too - 24 years this year. We are saving for a trip to Tahiti on our 25th - almost have what we think the trip will cost in the bank already thanks to Pampered Chef! ...I don't think we did anything special on the 10th either.
 
This looks like alot of fun!! I might even treat my team. Set up some goals for them or just that they attend National Conference? It's not that expensive (and I don't have a big team).
 
Well, shoot, Deb we should make a night of it! I thought the same thing is I'd love to do this as a night out downtown. Our 12th anniversary is in May! You have to do it by tonight, though???
