Anniversary gift part 3

Figured I would repost, that way we are more likely to check it! I've done some research on dinners, and we could try to make reservations at Ocean Grill restaurant in the Shelter Cove Marina, which is the little shopping/dining area right next to the resort. They have a third level that you can reserve for parties of 20 or less--I think that would be us, barely! I would have to call and get a quote and perhaps make some choices as far as dinner entrees--not sure if it will be per head or something. They obviously specialize in steak and seafood--I'd have to ask about the children's menu for the neices and nephews (and Marc). Maybe we would be able to get a deal since we'd be doing it Sunday or Monday night. I thought that we might be able to do a nice champagne toast after dinner--I'm researching engraveable toasting flutes or these waterford crystal ones with Ruby edging (40th anniversary is the "ruby" anniversary--maybe I should let dad know that!) And also have a nice cake ordered. I like the theater tickets idea! Another thought I had was getting them two nights at a Bed & Breakfast in Savannah, which is about an hour away from Hilton Head. I found a nice one right in the historic district that's about $220 a night. The Azalea Inn received 5 stars on yahoo's list, and included about 70 reviews. Of course that would only work if dad had that time off, but I'm thinking that they planned to take the whole week anyway. This would whet dad's appetite for history and mom's interest in looking at big old homes. I have heard them mention wanting to check out the city (I've been there, it's gorgeous!) You'd have to count me out on the camaro, holy schmoley! I was just kidding about the hot tub! But the wine cooler thing--I found a 6 bottle one in a magazine for $149 and it's small. Maybe a good Christmas idea for the future....I've had to ixnay the photo idea. I'd have to go home next week to get pictures (and it would be painfully obvious) and honestly the trip would just be too expensive. Gotta save for the trip to Hilton head!
