Valentine's Day
I can't remember if this has been asked yet.
What is everyone doing this year if anything at all?

Re: Valentine's Day
We might try to go to a nice dinner once we get out though.
Planning Bio {Updated 4/9/11}
Neither of us think that hallmark holidays are worth celebrating. We'd rather go out to a nice dinner on a random day when every restaurant isn't packed.
This may be TMI but my philosophy was that V-day was almost exclusively for ladies' enjoyment, so if we ever celebrated it, we'd have to celebrate 3/14 "Steak and a BJ day" hahaha!
I have Monday off for work so we are going down to an indoor water park resort outside Columbus for the weekend. We are so excited.
[QUOTE]My parents never celebrated it even before they were married, so I was raised not thinking V-day was a big deal at all. FI did mention casually if I wanted to do anything but I told him I have no expectations, but after a weird conversation like that who knows what we're doing!

Haha I love it! I think guys want it to be steak and bj day everyday!
We aren't doing anything either. We decided this year we aren't exchanging gifts for anythng except the wedding to try to save some money.

We might go out to eat or something on Saturday. We don't make big plans. I'd rather just order pizza and watch Bad Girls Club at home lol.

This I am jealous of! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chicago! The city pass is great too! We had one of those when we went a few years ago, lots of fun stuff to do! And I love taking the train too, it's such a nice ride.
Do you have special dinner plans??

Aw, that's so nice! How long are you staying? We did the city pass when we went one year for my birthday. I hated my FI by the end of the weekend. We tried to pack it all in in 3 days, and I was just wiped. Everything on the city pass is so great though!

FI and I celebrate vday, but he gets off the hook too easy. my birthday is 2/13 so he usually gets me 1 big gift (massage day, $700 cat, etc)... in the past years ive bought him a dog and traveled over an hour away for a special pool cue...This year i'm planning to make him a 'trophy area' for our trophies won by our English Bulldog. She has 3 HUGE trophies and about 20 ribbons.. so i'm going to make him a spot in the bedroom and probably cook him a nice dinner. He always surprises me with my gifts.. so who knows! i go all out for v-day because it's probably one of my favorite 'holidays'-almost i know it isnt a real one. i think because my birthday is so close it to ive always just loved it so much!

Have fun, Jody! I haven't been there in a very long time! If you don't mind me asking, how much is the City Pass? That sounds like a lot of fun and you can see everything!
The City pass is $69 so it is a great deal.
We are only staying one night, but we'll get there around noon on Saturday and we are taking the late train home on Sunday (around 7pm), so that should be enough time to cram everything in!
THE DIRTY SHOW! Has anyone every gone? We go every year. Lots of fun!
