Go dancing at a salsa club.(that’s my idea)

Or u can always go see NEW MOON!!

Unfortunatly, there are no pictures, and there wasn't a cake...we eloped and it's still a secret to some of the family, so SHHH! Don't tell! Thanks guys for the ideas so far!

When it snows there , it's wonderful to have breakfast or lunch or dinner and sit outside and still be warm.
