Well, I hate to burst your hot pink bubble, but I actually like Valentine's Day. I always have, even though I spent the first twenty-two February 14ths of my life as a single baby/child/teen/young adult.
I love telling people that I love them. And if you read my blog, you obviously know how much I love the word "love". Love it.
Why not do it over some grub?
Loads of area restaurants are offering Valentine's Day specials and menus. So go grab your special someones (whoever they may be) and invite them out for a good meal.
You'll love it.

We are heading to Stanford Grill. No idea if they have any specials, but no matter - I love their regular menu and don't get to go too often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions. I have been wanting to try the Iron Bridge Wine Company.
