Valentine’s Day Stories?

With the approach of February 14 looming, I’m thinking back over the years to special Valentine’s Day celebrations with my wife. One year I surprised her with a hotel getaway, where I had prepared the room with some special food and a Scrabble board with “I love you” spelled out. I recall the time when Dena sent the kids to a friend’s house and surprised me with a quiet romantic meal. On several occasions we’ve had a nice dinner out, complete with extended (and uninterrupted) conversation. We’ve often exchanged a small gift or two. Unfortunately, I’ve been away on business – conventions that I couldn’t miss – several times over the years.

I wonder if you’ve got a particularly fond memory of a special Valentine’s Day activity – or a memory you just can’t shake about a plan gone awry? If so, please share with us via the comments section.
