1st anniversary

Hi.
My 1st wedding anniversary is coming up in April...cant believe its been a year already!!! Was wondering what I could do/get for my husband and as there are always loads of great ideas on here Im looking for some inspiration and maybe something different from the norm?

We've been together for about 15years, so not in the first flush of romance lol, we have 2 kids as well but am hoping we can get away for at least a night together. I should have around £100 to spend and was going to book a hotel room away somewhere and surprise him with this?
Id have loved to book the cottage we stayed in after we got married, was a gorgeous remote romantic cottage. But is too expensive and doubt we'd get a babysitter for anymore than 1 night!

Just thought maybe other ideas would inspire me though, as we will be going away together for the night end of March anyway when we're going to see Jimmy Carr.

Any thoughts?

    Booking a hotel room as a surprise would be a lovely idea as I assume with 2 kids you get very little privacy and "alone" time.
