Well, here we are wrapping up another productive week. A long weekend is ahead of us here in DC. Yipee! And how awesome is the fact that Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday? Which gives us a relaxed day of celebrating love with our sweethearts! Another yipee!
Don’t you find the mad dash home after work to make dinner reservations sort of a pain? I certainly do. This year for Valentine’s Day I am so not into the hassle of dealing with restaurant reservations, over-priced prefixed menus and over-crowded restaurants. Yes, yes I know it is a good excuse for a date with your honey and hard to resist the scrumptious menus, being waited on, no clean up…I get it. I did it. Now I’m so over it. And its not like you actually need an occasion to enjoy a Zagat recommendation. With the current economic uncertainty it goes without saying we all need some creative and wallet friendly ways to show our love. And I prefer intimate celebrations of love….cozy, unrestrained and private.
Romantic picnic in a vineyard, candlelight dinner (all courses home made and cooked together of course), rosĂ© champagne, oysters, chocolate desserts, flowers, music, sweet nothings, laughter, lots of love and of course Mr. Mochatini. My perfect Valentine’s day date 🙂 A hopeless romantic – yep that’s me.
What are your plans for V-day?
