Valentines Day...what do you do?
Hey Ladies! I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for Valentines Day. DH and I have never really done anything big or special for Valentines Day, but we do a nice dinner. We have been to Mitchell's, Ruth's Chris, I have been to Hyde Park, but it has been about 7-8 years, Fish Market, I have been to Ocean Club but DH hasn't, and last year we did La Scala, which is where we had our wedding reception. I was going to make reservations at someplace like Mitchells, but I also kind of want to try something new. If there are enough votes for one of the old favorites, I will probably do that, but any suggestions for something new is very much welcomed. Or any suggestions for something a little out of the box? Dinner at home? What do you do?? Thanks for the help ladies!!
Re: Valentines Day...what do you do?
What about setting up a romantic candlelight dinner at home? Turn off your cell phones and lock your doors for the night. Make something special for dinner (his favorite... maybe something that takes extra work) and a nice dessert. Some fresh flowers, a romantic movie, and perhaps give him a massage (lotion/oil)?
Save the romantic night out for a week or two after Valentine's. I think you will be glad you did.
Personally, DH and I are not into fancy dinner for Valentine's Day. Since we started dating, we have "celebrated" Valentine's Day with dinner and drinks at the Blue Danube north of campus. But that's our style since we think VDay is kinda lame.
We have done several different things for Valentine's Day. This year unfortunately I will be forced to stay at work until 8 for Parent-Teacher conferences. Yuck!
This year we are planning to go to Marcella's for dinner. The past few years we have went to different restaurants. We had the most fun when the restaurant wasn't busy and we could sit and enjoy ourselves. I think my favorite Valentine's Day was when we went to the restaurant on 33 between Bethel and Sawmill. But that one is no longer open.
we also one time did the "wine and dine" and went to ruth chris for vday a few years ago ... the food was good and all but it just felt like we were trying to hard or something.. can't explain but ever since then I told the Husband (at that time boyfriend) he was off the hook for Valentines Day forever
We'll likley relax at home, make dinner, and watch college basketball
Usually we do end up getting each other cards or something small like flowers or chocolate, but no major craziness for us.
Just to throw out an idea:
My DH and I get pizza (from Plank's since were former german villagers) and eat brownies on Valentine's day. It doesn't sound like anything fancy or special but the fact that we do it ever year has made it that way.
I appreciate it a lot because we still get to celebrate, its something to look forward to and we can do it no matter what our schedules are like.
If you are looking for a great restaurant, I would try the restaurant at the Corazon! Its open to the public. My other recommendation would be Lindey's (my absolute favorite).
