Valentine's Day holds a special significance for my husband and I. It's a long story but we met through the personal ads in the newspaper (again I date myself - the precursor to online dating). It was Valentine's Day when I wrote a letter to him in response to his answer to my ad. We were married the following September. So we often celebrate both Valentine's Day and our Wedding Day.
Most of the last ten years we have chosen to celebrate Valentine's Day or the weekend nearby at one of our Virginia State Park cabins. This year we are planning a week away. Sometimes we go out for dinner or sometimes we just enjoy cooking together, something we don't do as much as we'd like. All our cabins have nicely stocked kitchens. We bring books, videos we can watch on the laptop, and music, lots of music. Funny how little I sit and just listen to music any more. Naturally we also take the time to explore the park. It's winter and there aren't crowds of people and this ads to the romance.
Of course you don't need Valentine's Day as an excuse for a romantic getaway. In fact the best excuse is none at all - and a last minute unplanned escape is a great surprise. In case you have missed it, we are offering last minute 25% cabin discounts for the upcoming weekend if you book on Thursday or Friday through the call center - 800-933-7275. Don't count on there being last minute cabins for Valentine's Day weekend though. We traditionally sell out for the weekend! If you aren't booking for the weekend discount, you can book on line by clicking here.
Your choice whether your idea of romance is one of our newer cabins or one of our historic cabins. Nearly all have a fireplace or woodstove.
You can read about our trip last Valentine's Day using the links below. Obviously we had a good time if I could write four posts!
