A Valentines Getaway

By 12 Comments

Valentine's is fast approaching and BDW and I have not made any plans at all how to celebrate that day. I guess having our wedding anniversary and Valentines too close to one another has made planning something special a bit of a challenge. Last year was a no brainer, I just had DW then and so we just stayed at home.  But now, that DW's older, I was thinking that maybe we could plan something special.
