How should you celebrate being with the person you love for a quarter of a century? By taking a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico<\/a>, where the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting will suit the two of you perfectly. Cheers to 25 years with a pina colada at Barrachina. Rumor has it that this is the establishment where the delicious cocktail was first made and sipped. Next up, spend some time exploring the streets and alleys of Old San Juan. The old cemetery, Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, and the 16th-century citadel, Castillo San Felipe del Morro, are must-sees. For an insider\u2019s look at where Bacardi rum is made, sign up for a tour of Casa Bacardi. You may even get to sample some secret product.<\/p>\n

Alternative destination:<\/strong> Portland, Oregon<\/a>. This city may not have the hustle and bustle as much as others on this list, but that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t worthy of helping you ring in 25 years of marriage. Spend your silver wedding anniversary eating your way through Portland\u2019s legendary food cart scene and sipping on some the Pacific Northwest\u2019s best beer during a BeerQuest walking tour.<\/p>\n

Its stunning scenery creates perfect backdrops for a romantic photoshoot, and the Princeville Resort will treat you like you\u2019re the royal couple. There is no shortage of things to do here, from snorkeling on the offshore reefs and swimming in the shallow waters of Hanalei Bay to horseback riding at Princeville Ranch. If you want to capture the best 40th anniversary photograph of all time, go for a hike to Kalihiwai Falls. Aloha to the best anniversary yet!<\/p>\n

Alternative destination: <\/strong>Sedona, Arizona<\/a>. If romance to you means hiking around red sandstone formations, relaxing at the spa, and exploring art galleries, this is the spot for you both. The Devil\u2019s Bridge Trail hike, the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, and the spa at the Kimpton Amara Resort belong at the top of your list during your ruby wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n

The two of you are aging like a fine wine by the time your 60th rolls around, which makes Walla Walla, Washington<\/a>, one of the better 60th wedding anniversary ideas. Over the last 10 years, the city\u2019s wine industry has grown tremendously, and it\u2019s now considered one of the best wine regions in the country. Toast your six-decade-old marriage in style on a vino tour of the valley with Walla Walla Valley Tours. You\u2019ll visit five local wineries during a 4- to 5-hour period and sample the best of their products. Most of the wineries offer food options, so don\u2019t worry about going hungry. And as if sipping fine wine wasn\u2019t celebratory enough, playing a round of golf at the Wine Valley Golf Club is the ideal way to close out your anniversary weekend getaway.<\/p>\n

Alternative destination:<\/strong> Boca Raton, Florida<\/a>. Sunshine? Beautiful beaches? Warm water? What more could you want in an anniversary destination?
