Help Me Plan My Anniversary!

I think that you might take him to see the Dallas Summer Musical (I think "Ring of Fire is still playing that weekend) you can call the Crystal Terrace at the Music Hall to make reservations at 7:00 for dinner (lovely buffet) and then ticketmaster for available seats. There are very few bad seats in the hall.

We saw it last night and if your husband likes Johnny Cash music, as mine does, it will be a big hit. We thought it was really fun. This one was sort of like a Branson show.

If I have my dates wrong then it will be something else fun, maybe "Cats" or "Stomp." Either of which you will enjoy.

Congratulations! We have 4 kids also. For our anniversary this past year, we went to Texas de Brazil in downtown Ft. Worth. My husband loves food, and this was definitely right up his ally with all different kinds of meat. It was a very nice restaurant. You will definitely want to make reservations. Also, if you sign up on their website for their newsletter, they will send you coupons. We were sent a half-off coupon to celebrate our anniversary!

Also, another great food resturant is Del Frisco's (I think it is in Addison). We went there in Feb. The BEST steaks that we have EVER had! Great service! Great place! Once again, this is a pricey resturant, but we splurged to celebrate Valentines and a bonus that my husband had received. You will want to make reservations. I highly recommend it!

Have fun!

What about heading out to Ft. Worth? Tons of fun things to do down there and you could have dinner at Joe T. Garcia's. http://www.joets.com/

I'll even drag my husband from Plano out to Joe T's sometimes.

How about going to eat at Fogo de Chao (4300 Belt Line Rd)? It's a Brazilian steakhouse. They come to your table with a chunk of meat on a skewer and slice it off right onto your plate. Very manly! Speedzone (11130 Malibu Dr) might be a fun place to hang out. If you're pregnant, obviously you won't want to ride the race cars but there's miniature golf and video games too. If you want to do the video game thing, there's also Dave & Busters (10727 Composite Dr). Both Speedzone and D&B serve food if you want to skip the steakhouse in order to eat & play at the same location. Good luck and congratulations on your anniversary!

If you like Baseball also remember the Ft. Worth Cats and the team in Frisco. These teams aren't big league but neither are the ticket prices. My family has gone to the Round Rock Express and those games are just as fun as the Rangers games.

My husband and I also take turns planning our anniversary. This year was his year to do the planing and we stayed in the DFW area. We went to Mideval(sp?)Times the first night and then the next day we went to the ballet in Dallas and that evening we went to the Stock Yards and the next morning we went to Monster Jam. It was really a fun time and we both got to do things we enjoyed.

Hi B.!

What about seeing a "Guy Flick" at the Movie Tavern? You could see a movie and eat dinner there. It looks like the only "Guy Flick" out right now is Iron Man, but it is a great movie!

You could go to a sports bar and watch sports on their TV's and eat there.

Wow...that was harder than I thought. I would love to know what you end up planning.

Here is what I would suggest. Go to www.internationalstarregistry.com and order a star in his name. The star chart and certificate might not be in the mail in time, but you can print it from their website and have a smaller version to present to him. Get some candles, a blanket and a telescope and go hang out with some munchies at the lake to do a little star gazing and let him know that from now on when you look at the stars, you will think of him.

Have you looked at the Fort Worth Cats' schedule? They are the Fort Worth minor league baseball team and they play at LaGrave Field which is between Downtown and the Stockyards. After the game you could visit the stockyards....lots to see and do down there (including Billy Bobs).

My husband and I love to do Lasertag for a fun outing. Or some pool.

It is kind of kiddy but my husband loves Dave and Busters. When you go a little later there are no kids. D&B also has food, and if your husband likes video games it could be fun. I usually can find something to keep me entertained as well.

Good luck, and I am sure whatever you do you will have a great time. Congrads, on number 4!

Have you thought about Medieval Times? If you have never been, it's fun and you eat! Good luck.

Hi B..

If you're anything like me -- you haven't been to the movies in a long, long time -- unless it was animated :-) For dinner I recommend La Bistro Italian Restaurant @ 722 Grapevine Highway. They're reasonably priced with a romantic ambiance and have a piano player on Friday and Saturday nights. The movie can be the manly event since the newest Indiana Jones movie was just released. Even if If you're not on a budget -- Jerrry's Italian Bistro @ 7012 Hwy 26 is awesome and less expensive.

Take him to see Ironman at one of the "eat in" theaters.

what about seeing if the Frisco Roughriders(I think this is right...minor league baseball team) are in town and if their season has begun. There are also plenty of restaurants around their stadium.

What about Midevil Times that is a blast manly and food is part of the show. (of course there are no silverware)

Check in to the FW Cats or the Air Hogs, both are local Baseball teams, the Cats play at Legrave field off main st just north of Downtown FW, the Air Hogs have a brand new field in GP near Nokia Theatre.

How about take him to eat at a place where guys like to go. Like a sports bar, or Hooters, Humperdinks, some place like that where there are TV's and sports of some kind usually on. And then for more fun after that you could take him somewhere to play games like Dave & Busters and play guy games like basketball, air hockey, rifle range shooting, motorcycle racing, shoot pool, stuff like that. My husband and I have 3 little boys under age 3 and don't get out much, but when we do we like to do fun stuff like that. In the evenings Dave & Busters is for adults only, so it's nice to get away from kids for a while. Good luck!

For Valentine's Day, I took my bf out for a really nice Hibachi dinner - complete with Saki (It would be just for him, obviously) and they cook right in front of you. There are several you can find online in your area. Then I rented a hotel room and had a whole night with no kids. We have 6 between the 2 of us! I had the hotel room set up earlier with rose petals (you can buy fake boxed ones at Michael's or Hobby Lobby in the wedding department) spread on the floor and candles, a bottle of Jack with some cokes, his favorite candy and chocolate strawberries!

He loved it!

Good luck!

Congratulations! My husband and I go to Texas De Brazil every year for our anniversary (just celebrated our 4th!). He loves it because it's all you can eat steak, lamb and so forth. It's in dt fort worth and is superb! Plan for $150 - $200 (dinner, drinks and desert!)

putt putt golf, go cart racing or bowling at a Adventure Landing or Putt-Putt place or video/arcade games at Dave & Busters or Main Event type place. Men love activities!! The arcade games they have now are fun and interactive -- there's a boxing one at Dave & Busters that tracks your movement and squats. And there's usually a Dance Revolution game at every arcade these days!

What does he like to do -- biking, hiking, tennis, golf?
Trust me, i know at first you think 'oh no... i don't want to get hot and sweaty doing that... but once you're out there with your sweety and you see how happy he is doing this with his sweety ... it's so much fun!
You can eat there at Dave & Buster's or is there a sports bar/brew pub in the area?

If the Rangers are playing out of town, the game will be on TV. Take him to Buffalo Wild Wings (or some other sports bar) to watch the game on the big screen and eat wings or a sandwich or whatever. My husband loves this kind of night.

Also, there's a comedy club in downtown Fort Worth called "Four Day Weekend." It's somewhat audience-interactive and tons of fun!! I think they have a website; just Google "Four Day Weekend."

Congrats and have a great time!

If he loves nascar..let him drive a few laps. Also dallas has a helicopter tour and a simulator flying class that guys really love.

Hi B...Congrats! I agree with the other responses..Dave and Busters would be fun for him...and you. They should have some pool tables there too. If that doesn't work how about a sports bar..you can eat and enjoy what ever sports are on. Good Luck!

Have you ever been to Dave & Buster's.. my husband loves it there and they have great food. It is like a big kid Chucky Cheese.. except they don't serve pizza.. But it has Lots of virtual reality games.. video games .. billiard and shuffleboard tables. I always seem to find a few games I like too! And you can compeat aganist each other in the majority of the games. Hope this helps.
