Need some help,

Anniversary is coming up and I would like some ideas from women about taking her away for the weekend. I know all women are different but in a way you are all the same. My male brain has done alright the last 16 years but this year I need some ideas of what to do.

Yeah... See, Ellie's idea of fun is in zero way my idea of fun. We're most definitely not "in a way you are all the same".

How do I go about deleting the post?

I don't think you need to do that...

I know nothing about this woman but that doesn't mean you won't get any suggestions that strike a chord. Maybe someone will post a suggestion that you can relate with, knowing her the way you do.

I like outdoor activities with minimal human interaction.

I'm not that big on being out and about, up close and personal with nature. Long drives through pretty places, sure. Windows down if the weather is nice. Hiking, ugh no. I'm interested in trying new foods, local foods, that kind of thing. Outside of going places to try new foods, avoiding the swarming masses of humanity. My sweetie and I are both introverts.
 
I’m a staycation kind of person for a weekend. If I go away, I’m so exhausted when I get home, I need a couple of days to recover.

I’d love to come home on a Friday to a spotless house. Breakfast in bed for both days. Takeout from my favourite places for dinner. Maybe bring in a couple’s masseuse. Binge watch something cool. If we go out, go to a local attraction we’d never actually go to. Play cards together. Talk. Go for a walk. Just be.
 
One of my favorite things he ever surprised me with as for going away for a weekend... We just went fishing and looked for local cacti to dig up and bring home for the yard/house.

We drive into the desert, or up to the mountains for a good hike... Sometimes head to the river. That's really close tho, so we don't do that as often. We don't wanna burn out on our favorite spots.

We almost never go to the city to have fun, cuz it's just stress to both of us.

Nature all the way for us .
 
Yeah, more context is needed... budget, her likes, etc.

Think hard about things she's mentioned wanting to do. She'll probably be happy that you paid attention even if it's not something super spectacular.
 
A project completion weekend. 48 hours dedicated to getting a thanks off the needles. I have way too many half/three quarters done task in my house. It's not mania or a meth problem, just "I never factor in disruption/distractions" issue.

So give me a weekend of open time. Ohhh, so good.

I like your thinking. I hate getting home on a Sunday evening then straight to work Monday morning

I know, me, too. Laundry and getting ready. I need a day to get ready. Weekends away exhaust me!

I think my ideal is probably a week away and then a week just being off before returning to work - if I go straight back to work i dont feel like I had a holiday after the first day back

I booked us a long weekend trip to Chicago, dinner at a A+ Steak house. I am also currently working on getting someone to deep clean our house while we are gone. Just want her to take a break. Thx to all for the input.
