dyk ladies, you are the best idea generators out there

dyk I need an idea for a 16th birthday party for Amanda

dyk we are not into the whole Sweet 16 bash at a rented hall with a DJ (very popular thing to do around here)

dyk we want to keep it simple and do something special with her 5 closest girlfriends

dyk her bff's birthday is next week and she is taking the girls to dinner and a show in NYC, so we can't do that :(

dyk Amanda would have loved to have a summer birthday so she could have had pool parties or gone to the beach, but her birthday is in February

dyk we considered going to Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos (an indoor waterpark) but I think it's more geared toward little kids

dyk we also considered snow tubing at a local ski resort, but she did that for a party several years ago

dyk these girls are athletic, yet feminine (lol)

dyk any thoughts are welcome

dyk in San Diego you get an older, simple 1 bed 1 bath condominium w/ few amenities and community laundry


dyk additionally, I suspect that San Diego condo is either REALLY far outside the city center or in a bad neighborhood!


dyk but I love those shows too.

dyk We make decent money and could never ever afford to buy a house in NY or CA


dyk Where do they come up with 20% of $500k or more...


dyk the only people I know that put down 20% on a first house got it from family as a loan, gift or inheiritence.

DYK - Would they enjoy doing something they haven't done since they were kids.


DYK- Like a party at a pottery place, build a bear, lazer tag or the like


DYK- Visit a museum, aquarium etc, lunch someplace special?


DYK- A High Tea at a fancy hotel in the City?

DYK I agree about the pink; maybe some pink accents, though?

dyk I just figured out Dek's problem - with the chest clutching, the fake gagging, the writhing, screeching fit-like antics


dyk and I cured him with 1/2 a tums!!!


dyk it was instant I could see he felt better - poor guy - he's got heartburn!!!
