DH had to practically drag me away, but once I was there, I had so much fun. We went to Key West for 5 days and then he hosted a huge party at our house with our friends. I'm so glad we got away :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th/page/2#post-893321 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:28:30 +0000 Bookish 893321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH didn't want me to do anything for his 30th! We ended up going out to dinner and having cake just the two of us at home. Silly man. For MY 30th, I want to go on a trip! No idea where! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th/page/2#post-893253 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:07:45 +0000 DillonLion 893253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C will be 10 months when I take my first long weekend away from her as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th/page/2#post-893219 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 10:57:00 +0000 doodlepoodle 893219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is next year and my goal is to find a half marathon in a fun location that we could spend a long weekend as a family. @runningelley there's a half at Disneyland next August.......;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th/page/2#post-892874 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 09:04:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 892874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 years, but my group of friends is planning a weekend to Mexico! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th/page/2#post-892689 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:16:03 +0000 Alivoo01 892689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not 30 yet, but hopefully hubby will have something fun and delivious planned.</p> <p>For the hubby's 30th, I threw him a big birthday bash - Casino themed. I invited over 100 of his friends, hired a casino dealers and tables, and had the food catered. His birthday was in January so a lot of people that RSVP-ed yes, didn't show due to the flu so that sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th/page/2#post-892666 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 08:07:06 +0000 SweetiePie 892666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH planned a night out with all of my/our friends at a really cool rooftop bar here in NYC. We had just gone away a couple weeks before to get engaged so I was excited to see everyone and show the bling :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892631 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:55:47 +0000 heartonastring 892631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I surprised DH with a trip to Vegas for his 30th...feels like forever ago (he just turned 35).</p> <p>My 30th was last summer and DH surprised me with a dinner at an amazing restaurant with my closest friends....it ended up being a double surprise, as I got to tell all of them that we were expecting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892558 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 07:28:07 +0000 Honeybee 892558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ah, lame about being on call this weekend. :( </p> <p>I told my husband I wanted to take a long weekend trip just the two of us; he said he couldn't imagine the leaving the kids behind, even for a night. Aaaaaahhhhhhhh! Eta: we agreed that we would take a big family vacation, instead, maybe somewhere beachy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892470 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 06:33:34 +0000 aprk 892470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be driving 8+ hours to PA ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892468 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 06:30:38 +0000 BananaPancakes 892468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Awesome. :) Must have missed that story. </p> <p>And my 30th is in October, as is my husband's, and I had hoped to do a weekend in Savannah with friends, but we have a long weekend trip planned in August and September, so I feel bad taking off more work. Besides that, almost all of our friends are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or just had (or will have had just had) a baby.<br /> My SIL has been begging to throw us a party, so I might oblige. We haven't celebrated a birthday since we turned 21, so it would be fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892454 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 06:17:41 +0000 ShootingStar 892454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends threw me a surprise party for my 30th. We had dinner at my favorite restaurant in Boston, Tapeo on Newbury St., then we went to a piano bar in the Fenway area called Jake Ivory's where everyone sings along with the piano players. We had a blast that night. </p> <p>DH's 30th is next summer and in the past few days I've started thinking about awesome things we could do. We'll have an 8.5 month old then so I'm not sure what we can realistically do. At first I was thinking Vegas (toned down from what most people do of course) but maybe that's crazy. Also considering a Caribbean cruise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892378 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:38:00 +0000 illumina 892378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I went to Barcelona for 4 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892377 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:35:18 +0000 Smurfette 892377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had only been dating 9 months but DH tok me to dinner.

That was awhile ago, but I spent it on a deserted island in Thailand with no electricity eating a fish that was caught and cooked especially for me, and watching a lightening storm. Though it wasn't recent, it was a fabulous way to ring in 30!</p> <p>This weekend I will ring in my not 30th birthday by being on overnight call :( I spent my 35th on call too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-big-for-your-30th#post-892317 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 00:50:38 +0000 sylvie_b 892317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me and my best girlfriends spent a long weekend in la/malibu.
