Grand or Bland!!!

So my birthday is coming up in less than a month!! Yesterday was actually the one month mark! But the thing is, I haven't had a birthday party or celebration of any sort in 3 years so this year I wanted to do something great! I wanted my closest friends to be there but since most of them are 1200 miles away it looks like there will only be a few here! But I can't decide what I want to do! There isn't much around but there are HUGE cities within a 2-3 hour drive. What do you guys think?? Any ideas!! I'll take anything....something that sounds fun for probably about 4 people! I've racked my brain for about 2 weeks now and I can't think of anything!!
