50th Anniversary "Experience" gift ideas
Trying to think of a great 50th anniversary gift idea for my parents - an experience as opposed to more material things. They are both very active (tennis for my mom and walking/hiking for my dad) but not big foodies. They will be in Steamboat Springs and Beaver Creek for a couple weeks this summer. They live in the OC so also considering something there as well. Any great ideas?

How about tickets to opera, theatre, sports event etc - that you know they will like? Or a weekend in San Diego? It's not too far of a drive for them - a stay in La Jolla, maybe or at the Hotel Del Coronado?

Ojai is a nice getaway, have they been? Emerald Iguana Inn is special, or maybe you could find a place with tennis courts. There is nice hiking around and an Olive farm with a tour of the olive-oil process.

We just celebrated a significant milestone by being together with our children and their families for a week in a beach rental. It was about as wonderful event as we could imagine. We can go away by ourselves any time.
Just a thought.

Do they want a party? Many do. We had a 50th anniversary party for my parents and just attended a 64th wedding celebration for another family member. Before you book a getaway for them, you may want to see what their expectation or preference would be.

But for a 50th experience - Enchantment resort in Sedona

I would look at the websites for both steamboat & Beaver Creek for their summer activities . Or get them a gift certificate to the hot springs pool in Glenwood, a day trip from Glenwood plus perhaps a night at Hot Springs Lodge & dinner. Can come up with restaurant ideas of you go that way.

back in california...if they haven't been out to catalina island and like boat rides, you could get them a nice room at the avalon hotel for a night or two and get their boat passes. it would be helpful if you told us how much you want to spend.
