Wedding Anniversary is during GenCon – Help!
OK, this might seem like a bit early in the year to get into this, but really it’s not.
We got married August 17th, 2003. Of course, that means sometimes our anniversary is pretty close to GenCon and sometimes not, but I always worried that one year it might even overlap. Oh boy, was I right!
I just realized today, pointed out by the Mrs., that our actual anniversary is during GenCon this year. I figured that means going to the con would be right out, so I was going to tell her it was OK if we missed it this year – but instead, she wants to go even moreso! See, we travel without the kids, and it’s an opportunity to get out of town, and we can spend some time together alone for at least one evening on our special day.
Now, we are normally short on cash, and I think I finally learned my lesson about planning ahead – especially after last year, where we didn’t even have enough money to get into the dealer hall.
This year, I want to pre-register our badges (which, of course, will save money) and then get a hotel room. (Normally, we sleep on our friend’s couch/floor/whatever to save money, but that simply won’t do for our 4th anniversary!) When we get our tax money, we can pre-register for the Con since that started 2/11 I think, and then we can reserve a hotel room for 1 or 2 nights as we see fit.
So, maybe there are some suggestions people have about what we can do on Friday night. We’ll probably go to the Con at some point that day, but we need something special to do. (Last year the “special” thing we did was to spend 8 hours folding, sorting, washing, and putting away our laundry, so we have two years worth of stuff to make up for!)
We will almost certainly be broke again by the time the Con comes around, but maybe there is somewhere fun we can go in Indy. Any ideas?
