Are you hearing the sounds of sweet love filling the air? That can only mean one thing: Valentine’s Day is almost here! Soon we’ll be walking through a circus of hearts, chocolates, balloons and bouquets. Cupid isn’t wasting any time either. He’s busily sharpening his arrows and preparing to ratchet up the romance on couples everywhere. But he can’t do it alone.
You and your loved one need to find the place so Cupid can find the time to shower you with TLC. But it isn’t easy. Busy schedules and commits to family and friends can take up much days and nights leaving little space for even dinner and a movie.
If you and your sweetheart are in need of some couple’s time, you may want to consider a romantic getaway to a bed and breakfast. From complimentary champagne toasts and floral bouquets to couples in-room massages and breakfast in bed, they make the quintessential intimate escape for amorous couples. At the Adair Country Inn and Restaurant in Bethlehem, NH, you’ll disconnect so you can reconnect. Telephones and TVs have been removed from their romantic rooms so the focus is squarely on each other. How many ways can you say “I love you?” The Inn at Craig Place in San Antonio, TX, has more than a few suggestions including bouquets of roses, sweet treats, champagne, spa baskets, balloons, picnic baskets with a cheese and fruit board and even an Italian Murano glass heart pendant presented with an Italian love poem and confetti candies.
Are you looking for ways to get your hearts racing? The Red Cardinal Bed & Breakfast in Carlisle, PA, will get you on your feet and flirting on the dance floor. You’ll learn the fundamentals of ballroom dancing before taking a 2-hour lesson on the basics of swing, Cha-Cha and the foxtrot. But may you’d prefer an outdoor adventure. Behind Hawaii’s Hidden Hideaway in Kailua, HI, sits the Molokai Ridge which overlooks the island. You and your beloved can hike up to the top and share the breathtaking views before heading back to your secluded lanai where a private Jacuzzi spa awaits.
As the saying goes, the quickest way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. Enjoy an epicurean feast for two on Valentine’s Day courtesy of Chef Anthony at the Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls – Hocking Hills Lodging in Logan, OH. Appetizers include baked brie with fig and pear chutney followed by either shrimp bisque with a chive crème fraiche or rocket salad with shaved fennel, pine nuts, pomegranate and parmesan with champagne vinaigrette. An entrée of braised beef short ribs with cognac-green peppercorn reduction, lobster ravioli in a sherry crème sauce or macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi with maple beurre blanc will follow. You can end the meal feeding each other fresh strawberries with dark chocolate fondue and inn-made Chambord chocolate truffles.
It’s easy to lose touch with what’s important. Our lives are filled with schedules and commitments that demand our time and attention. Getting away from it all can help you reconnect with each other and rekindle the romance. So this Valentine’s Day, think about a romantic escape to a bed and breakfast. Your relationship will be happy you did!
