Hunter and I started a tradition on our first anniversary, and I love it. Every year we take a trip, but each year the trip is a surprise for one of us. Whoever plans the trip is supposed to consider what the other person enjoys doing and plan the trip around them. We don't reveal the destination until right around Christmas - our anniversary is December 28. So far, here's where we've traveled:
Honeymoon
This trip wasn't a surprise, but we went to Merida, Mexico and visited Mayan ruins, saw flamingos, and went to some cenotes (caves).
1st
Hunter planned our trip to Asheville, NC and we visited the Biltmore.
2nd
I planned a trip to Miami. We went snorkeling and visited Fairchild Tropical Gardens - I had to drag Hunter away from there.
3rd
Hunter planned a trip to Atlanta. We went to see the Nutcracker at the Fox and went to the Georgia Aquarium.
4th
I planned a trip to Washington, D.C. We rode the train and spent 4 days walking all over the city, visiting tons of museums and historical sites. This was our most exhausting trip, but probably the most interesting one. We even got a tour of the White House.
5th
Hunter planned our trip - we went on a cruise to Key West and Playa del Carmen. We both enjoyed it, but agree that we never really want to take a cruise again. It was way too touristy for us.
6th
Our 6th anniversary is in less than a month, and this year we broke tradition. We took a trip out west in April as our anniversary trip because we thought we would have an infant by our anniversary, but when we lost Ada we decided to plan a real anniversary trip. We both agreed to go to Costa Rica, but I have been doing most of - okay, all of - the planning. Nothing is a surprise though. We're going to visit two different volcanoes, take a tram that goes through the canopy of the rain forest, and take a boat through a wildlife preserve. We also want to spend some time shopping for Costa Rican artwork for our home. I am ready to go!
