Valentine’s Day Ideas – It’s Not Too Late To Ace It<\/h2>\n

Valentine’s Day can often be like New Year’s Eve, a total rip off, with prices being jacked up and a lot of cliches; heaven forbid someone asks you to marry them on February 14, I think that just might be the worst. Sorry. Husband Michael has informed me that he hates Valentine’s Day, so I won’t be getting flowers apparently,\u00a0 but we are going to a play and I’ve informed him he’s taking me for a dinner. For the rest of you, there’s still lots of reservations open and a few fun things around town that aren’t just for couples. Here’s a few suggestions.<\/p>\n

Chocolate and Pizza at Rocky Mountain Flatbread<\/h3>\n

The three-course menu is offered for $30 per person and we were lucky enough to get a sneak peak prior to the big day and can confirm it\u2019s well worth of your dining dollars.
