Anniversary surprise. Help needed from the ladies!?

Background: I do all the typical anniversary gifts, flowers, cards, jewelry, fine dinners, massage, her favorite chocolate etc... for the past 6 years.





For the last 2 anniversaries she%26#039;s been pregnant or just given birth a month before.





Here%26#039;s the dilema; I want to take her on trip to UK, France, Germany, and a day or so in Amsterdam. We have two children under 2 years old. Our family is more than willing to stay with the girls for us to get away.





With such a commitment on time and family resources I am uncertain of doing this as a surprise rather than planning it together. She%26#039;s a great mom and wife and deserves a gift like this without stressing over details.





what do you think?

A trip to Europe for most people is a once in a lifetime event and it should be special. Make it more so by telling her your plans then planning the trip together. That doesn%26#039;t prevent you from planning a couple extra surprises during the trip to make it that much more memorable. Maybe hire violinists to play at a Great restaurant that you have agreed to go. Hire a photographer to follow you around one day. Order her an outfit from a Paris designer. I am sure you can improve on these suggestions. Have a great time.
Reply:i dont know. because she might not like the fact of leaving her 1yr old with her so far away. i mean she%26#039;ll go but she%26#039;s goign to b buggin you about %26#039;you think she%26#039;s ok%26#039; or mayb not. i dont know. has she mentioned going out of states LATELY? if not, then maybe watch the travel channel and b like %26quot;o dear, wouldnt that be nice to go if we could go right now?%26quot; or something like that and see what she says.
Reply:i think you should spring it on her, and then plan it together. That is a big committment to leave your children for a far away spot. Way to go!
Reply:Giver her a little heads up but tell her that the arrangements have already been made for the children. Tell her that this is a chance for you two to have fun together and you want it to be very relaxfull and fun. Ask her if she wants you to plan the whole trip and pack or if she would like to help. That way she can do what suits her best. Also when you are over there spoil her. It sounds like you already do and she is a very lucky woman.
Reply:Do it! It%26#039;s just once a year and your family is willing to stay with your kids so i guess there%26#039;s no problem about that. And a surprise trip with her will surely be a great idea. Every wives dream that and you still deserve to have some privacy. I know she%26#039;ll love it! =)
Reply:by now, you should know her well enough to know if she%26#039;d rather help plan the details or be surprised. since you don%26#039;t...[why is that?] buy a nice, small photo album and put in the slots pics you%26#039;ve downloaded, etc from the differant places you wish to take her. do a pic of a nice resturant, etc.. wrap that and give it to her at a nice dinner for her gift. tell her she can replace the pics you%26#039;ve put in for the real pics of the trip. then, follow through and really take her.
