Any Valentine's Day plans?

We figured for a nice restaurant in Chicago we could have dropped $120 bucks easily, so why not go do something with it?

Ahh...I am quite familiar with Four Winds! It's always a fun time

I don't particularly believe in Valentine's Day honestly...and I still say that as I've been in a relationship for 3 years now.

My b/f and I met on Feb. 9th, and our first date was Mar. 6th, so we usually pick sometime in between to do something for our anniversary. It just happened to work out that the only weekend that worked best was Valentine's weekend.

So we are planning on leaving after I get off of work on Friday and driving to Savannah, GA and staying over night there. We'll walk around historic Savannah for a little bit before continuing on our journey to Orlando, where we will stay for 2 nights, and spending one full day at Disney. Then on Monday, we will leave Orlando, start our trek back up north to go home, but we will stop for our last night in St. Augustine, FL and go to the beach, and then continue the rest of the way home to Raleigh on Tuesday.

You will have fun in St. Augustine. If you are a fan of Ghost Adventures or Ghost Hunters then St. Augustine is a great place to visit. The oldest city in America, where Ponce De Leon once walked on, has one of the highest concentration of natural EMFs in the country. If you're solely on a romantic getaway then it's still a good place to visit. Make sure you visit the "Lover's Tree" while you are there and kiss. Supposedly, if you kiss under the lover's tree you will love the person forever. Funny thing but my wife and I went there a few years before we got married and kissed under the tree. Typically, this type of stuff is a little to lovy duvy for me but it was actually kind of cool. The tree is a palm tree that grew directly into a oak tree. Both trees have survived for years and neither has died. It's quite remarkable.

Valentine's Day is actually kind of special with my wife and I. I proposed to her on a Valentine's Day. I know I know - it's kind of cheesy but it worked.

Happy V-Day all.

Fraternally Yours,
