Do YOU not want a party? What does she want? This is a biggie birthday. We just had a big blast for my daughter's 13th. She wants to tour Italy at 16 and we are planning for that one.
This summer we are going to Europe to tour for a couple of weeks.
The New York trip is a great idea. My daughter and I went there for a mother/daughter weekend and had a blast. We stayed at the Waldorf, saw Lion King, had brunch at Tavern on the Green, toured everything. When our plane landed in NY our feet did not stop till we landed back in Dallas. We covered SO much ground, we were pooped, but had a blast and have a wonderful memory.
Another great trip we did was to LA. We hit the ground running seeing every site we could see. We were there longer, 5 days because we were on a modeling trip. We still managed to see and do a LOT.
Whatever you choose to do, make it a special memory for her. A fancy dress up dinner at a first class restaurant and first diamond is a great idea as well.
Enjoy!
