I’ve been considering ways to celebrate my upcoming thirtieth birthday. Some ideas:
Vegas
Pros: food, friends, fun, Circ, spa, strippers.
Cons: expensive, far away, and we just went in February.
Wine tasting, and then a night somewhere fancy with Gene
Pros: wine, friends, limo.
Cons: I won’t spend resort prices to stay someplace that’s not overlooking some body of water, and no matter how fancy the place is, sex in a B&B is always going to feel like sex in someone’s grandma’s house.
Vacation rental on the Russian River
Pros: waterfront (I can stare at water for hours), we can go wine tasting nearby, plenty of alcoholic hangouts with friends.
Cons: mid-October weather might not encourage water sports, feeding 8-12 people for a weekend can be a nuisance.
Thoughts? Other suggestions? I’m all eyes.
