Valentine Vacation Getaways

It's almost time for Valentine's Day again.  Coastal Living has come up with their top 10 list of the best places to take your loved one in the middle of February.  Not surprisingly, all of their destinations involve water in one form or another. Here's their take on where to go with your sweetheart next week-

1. Naples, Florida - white sand, warm water, and a sophisticated art scene
2. New York, New York - more romantic cliches than you can shake a stick at
3. Barbados - classic Caribbean paradise featuring the best of English culture
4. Sausalito, California - a little eccentric city full of cafes and art galleries
5. Niagara Falls, Ontario - classic beauty covered in ice
6. Fairhope, Alabama - off the beaten path but full of art and antiques on Mobile Bay
7. Cannon Beach, Oregon - rugged mountains, 9 miles of beach, and more art
8. St. Michaels, Maryland - lots of history and less tourists than in the summertime
9. La Jolla, California - this "jewel" is great for surfing, sand and shopping
10. Outer Banks, North Carolina - an easy place to find your own secluded beach

Nice view of the sunset. Lately I have never seen sunsets because I always wake at night because of work.

Last Feb. 14 is our first Valentine Day with my wife and to our newborn baby. We just stayed at home, had a little candlelight dinner and thanked each other for the unconditional love we have :)

There are so many place to choose from its so hard to pick where you want to go. Especially when its a once every few years kind of vacation. But I love the vacations in the tropics. Thanks for the links :)

I always try to pick some place that is local for Valentines Day. It is easier since the holiday is very short.

Well, what better time of the year for a getaway with your special someone? Sure you can be all lovey-dovey at any time of the year, but it you've got to admit, it's a bit more special if done during Valentines Day. For one thing, men have an excuse to dabble on their feminine side and be all mushy and soft. Men, let's face it, masculinity is thrust out the door once your holding a bouquet of flowers and a teddy bear with a heart, which, in my book, is okay from time to time.
As for a vacation spot, for me though would have to involve a body of water, and a property that I can invest on.
No, just kidding. I meant I and my special someone can invest on
