Hello all, My wife and I are approaching our 5th wedding anniversary and I am having trouble deciding if what I want to do is something I should do. When we first got married, all our money went towards getting our house ready to move in and paying off all taxes that were due on the house from previous years. It took some time but we finally managed to get on track. Since we never got the chance to take a honeymoon trip, I was thinking of taking her somewhere for the weekend of our anniversary but we are really tight on cash right now.

In the past year, unfortunately, we went through two extremely traumatizing miscarriages while trying to start our family. We had been trying for a couple of years and that really took a toll on us but fortunately we pushed on and our marriage continues strong. This coming month will also mark a year since we lost our first child which adds to the confusion of whether it is ok for us to take a trip so close to a date when our family went through so much pain.

My idea for taking her somewhere is going to Las Vegas so she can experience it herself. She always comments on how I never take her anywhere jokingly but after so many times, even as a guy, I can take a hint(cause they say guys are clueless towards subtle hints). She doesn't drink much so we are not really going for the party experience but I would really hope to see nearby attractions like the grand canyon and things of that sort which is what she is really into. I keep going over it in my head because it is a destination that is outside the normal range of where we go normally with family and it is inexpensive compared to what some people really do.

I don't know if anyone is going to really read this long and personal question or if they do if you guys will even care but i thought it was well worth to ask and hope to get some ideas. What do you guys think?

Thank you and sorry for the length
