Things we have done…“Jungle” cruise/comedian dinner in Fort Lauderdale, sunset cruise in San Diego, Christmas market in Strausbourg FR, murder mystery dinner, bowling, billiards, wineries, breweries, pizza and darts, bbq dinner with picnic games, axe throwing, virtual golfing, city walking tours in many fantastic cities, progressive dinner in Philadelphia, trolley tours, duck-boat tour in Boston, arcade, evening at the zoo, history tour and dinner with Ben Franklin, gangster tour in Boston, saunas on an island near Helsinki, beer gardens, hippie-converted bus ghost tour in Boulder Colorado, walking ghost tour in Edinburgh, dinner in the Eiffel tower, whiskey tasting, wine tasting, beer tasting, canal tour in Amsterdam, James Beard foundation dinner in NYC, cooking classes, funicular ride in Pittsburgh, river cruise in Cincinatti, London Eye Ferris wheel, Rhine river dinner cruise in Basel, tour of professional football stadium… (I’m sure I’m forgetting something…!!).
