I need your help with some ideas for a big event next year. I have three older brothers and the four of us are scattered across the U.S. so we don't get together all that often. My youngest son, who lives in Charlotte NC, is getting married over Memorial Day weekend next year, just a week before one of my brothers (they are much older than me )and his wife celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I don't want to detract from my son's wedding, since it's their day, but would like to do something for my brother and his wife in the next day or so after the wedding.
My brother is ex-military (Air Force) and is now retired. He and his wife ,who are childless, travel extensively but otherwise live quietly. So what do we do for these guys? I thought a nice brunch but my son is having a post-wedding brunch, so that's out. My brother and his wife drink but are a one-or-maybe-two drink-occasionally type so a speakeasy or other fun night spot is out. The National Whitewater Training Center is a favorite spot of ours in the area so that's a maybe but it's not really a group activity for the entire family.
Any thoughts, guys? How did you celebrate a big anniversary/family reunion type of event?
