How did you celebrate your 40th?

I am fast approaching my 40th birthday :j
Jumping for joy as frankly it will be a relief to wave goodbye to my 30s. It has not been an overly wonderful decade.
I want to kick off the next decade on a positive note and am looking for some ideas to celebrate my special day.
What did you do?

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

Edited just to say. I took all my Birthday Cards with me and opened them in my room at the hotel. I stayed in a hotel on 34th St, a i love the film Mircale on 34th Street. 0 -
I am taking my sons there in the summer. So need something bit closer to home unfortunately.
I also love that film.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame.

Nothng. I was working 200 miles from home and even if I''d been at home I'd have done nothing. You need somebody/people to do stuff with really. Didn't do anything for my 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th or 50th. Nobody's ever interested in doing anything with/for me so they slide by.
I think, for my 30th, I might have bought a cheesecake and stayed in bed all day - and ate the whole cheesecake with a big spoon.0 -
I went to NYC too. I was determined to turn 40 there and had an amazing week which ended up being a fortnight due to the volcanic ash cloud. Although a little stressful being stuck it turned out fine and as the 2nd week was a bonus we made sure we enjoyed every extra day!
Hitting 40 was so much fun, its the years after that haven't been quite so thrilling! Enjoy your birthday whatever you do.“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”

You should have gone to New York and had a proper cheesecake!!0 -
I hated turning 30 - that was when I first realised I wasn't a young thing anymore, leaving my 20's behind!
I think I'll head back to NY for my 50th - if I can wait that long (6 years to go!).0 -
You cant beat a New York cheesecake. It is quite literally love on a plate, dreamy :heart2:The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses.
