My sister-in-law just announced that she’s pregnant, so my wife and I will be an aunt and uncle sometime in September.

It’s also about time for said SIL’s wedding anniversary, so this will be the last year that she and her husband have an anniversary without kids around.

I think it would be cool to get them a present that they probably _wouldn’t_ get once they have tykes. Not being parents ourselves, though, we could probably use some ideas.

Suggestions? We’re probably looking at the $100 range, with some room for fudging around.

A weekend in a lovely, quiet bed & breakfast in the country somewhere.

They will never again have a weekend of uninterrupted sleep once the baby is born 🙂
